ᐅ Incorrect Installation of Sound Insulation Between Floor Slabs

Hello everyone,
I am building a semi-detached house that stands on its own concrete slab. Now that the shell, including windows and roof, is in place, the site manager noticed that the two concrete slabs are connected by a rigid foam (which was apparently used during the pouring of the slabs). Between the houses, mineral wool insulation has been installed.
Supposedly, this affects soundproofing, but no one can currently quantify the defect in this condition.
Important: this defect will be documented and must be disclosed if the house is sold in the future.
Cutting through between the houses to remove all material in between would cost €15,000.
The construction company is offering me compensation of €500 and has given me 24 hours to decide.
Is that too little?
Looking forward to quick responses and thank you in advance!
