Umpire stops play from starting to tell center to put mouthpiece in. Umpire calls holding on this play but should the line judge have this?

Natural play progression I see LOS and Umpire having this. (LOS has a better look) This hold was so big and a lot of the other blocks took themselves out of the play so 2 sets of eyes on this are quite appropriate.
In our 5 man mechanics the Umpire has the GCG action at the snap and transitions to the point of attack. Looks like the correct call for holding. As the U I don’t mind if the LOS official joins me with the flag. Good communication by U, LOS, and R during the dead-ball period and penalty administration period.
