NFHS Fouls on Scoring Play

If a penalty occurs on the defense during the try, isn't it enforceable only on the try if the scoring team accepts the penalty?

Depends.
If it were a an unsuccessful TRY, team-A would accept the penalty and replay the TRY.

If it were a successful 1-point TRY, team-A could accept the penalty and go for two points now. Otherwise they can keep the point and by accepting the penalty have it enforced on the free kick.

And, of course, on a successful two-point try, they may keep the points AND accept the penalty (to be enforced on the kickoff).

Team can take either penalty on the kickoff, but not both. They must choose, as per the new NFHS rule book.
