Dear brother Sardar,
As-salam alaykum.
If you are looking to know brother Joseph's view on verse 48:29, then you may read his article "What is 'Salaat' (Prayer) from the Quran?".
Article link - http://quransmessage.com/articles/quran%20salaat%20FM3.htm
In the above article, you will see that in point number 6, brother Joseph wrote:
(6) WHERE DO THESE MARKS OF PROSTRATION COME FROM?
048:029
“Muhammad is the Messenger of God, and those with him are firm of heart against the unbelievers, compassionate among themselves; you will see them bowing down, prostrating themselves, seeking grace from God and pleasure; their marks are in their faces because of the effect of prostration; that is their description in the Torah and their description in the Gospels; like as seed-produce that puts forth its sprout, then strengthens it, so it becomes stout and stands firmly on its stem, delighting the sowers that He may enrage the unbelievers on account of them; God has promised those among them who believe and do good, forgiveness and a great reward”
Therefore, I think it is clear from the above that brother Joseph holds the view that the marks on the faces in verse 48:29 are due to physical prostrations.
Regards.
