Need Clarification on Foul Points-possible tragic occurrence happened??

Our team was at Kettering for the first week of competition. During our tie-breaker match for the semi-finals we lost 111-115.

This score did not include a clear foul that was given by the ref on the far side of the field for what it looks like on video as a 5 sec defense on our alliance robot
Please see the video at 8:14

We all, half of the crowd, questioned this?? We asked why the foul points were not given?? Their answer is that they gave us strength in our tower.

What I question is looking very long and hard I could not find that they can only give us strength only. I seen that a Foul is 5 points and a Tech Foul is 5 points + a tower increase??? If the foul given would have been awarded in 5 points we would have advanced to the finals.

Maybe someone else can help me out so we understand going further into our competitions.

Thanks!
