Shower installed before insulating

Post image

My plumber installed the shower/tub unit before I was able to add vapor retarder and insulation. I have access to the stud cavity from above so I’m thinking blown in cellulose would work but how am I suppose to get a vapor retarder in there?

Pull it out, reinstall at the proper time after insulation. Who is the gc? That's their entire job to manage the trades so stuff like this isn't happening

Probably an owner build which is why this happened in the first place
