Illegal disengagement

What happens if a pitcher steps off but doesn’t drop the hands to the side as “When the pitcher disengages the pitcher's plate, he/she must drop the hands to the sides” states.

There is no penalty written for it just says the pitcher must. From what I know this isn’t one of the 13 ways to balk. So what’s the penalty if any?
