Blueboard cement sheet advice

We got out demolishers to cap it off. I believe they hired a plumber for that.
Don't remember exactly but it was roughly 20k plus

However, we added a understair storage and it is just plain concrete.

Yes I did.
Masters did say they will accept them back but will consider reimbursing for re-installation.

Too hard to explain without pictures.
It's the cap that sits on top of the light globes.
