problem is on an offensive penalty the clock should start as soon as the ball is set by the refs then the players have to be set for a second before the snap therefore they wouldn't have time to get the play off.

The clock starts on the referees ready signal - a winding of the arm. Whether or not this happens is based on the previous play, in this case the play that determined how the clock is started for the FG attempt was the spike w :01 left, spikes are treated as incomplete passes and therefore there is no 'hot' clock, clock starts on the snap, not on the referees ready signal
