I don't understand the new NFHS rule

Yup. I would have something like:

"The result of the play is a touchdown." (arms up)
"During the play, there was a face mask foul ... " (signal appropriately)
"... by the defense." (point at the defense)
"The 5-yard penalty will be enforced on the kickoff." (point upfield to the 40)

Before the ensuing kickoff, I would have the HL put the ball on the 40, signal the foul and point at the defense (now receivers), and then pick up the ball and step off the 5 yards and put the ball down again.
