Mistake, advice needed . Insulation in cavity stops at DPC.

Hi, walls are all done, roof on, windows all fitted and I've just realised the brickies didn't carry the cavity wall insulation (PIR board) 150mm below the DPC.

Stressing out a bit as too late to change it but about to put down floor insulation in prep for UFH and screed.

I'll be putting perimeter insulation before the screed but very concerned about cold bridging now.

Are there any options for blown insulation into the bottom of the cavity? I still have access in spots where door and window cils not yet installed.

Am I worried over nothing or is this a big oversight and will leak heat unless resolved?

Thanks.
