Top of wall fireproofing

Top of wall fireproofing

We have a cmu wall inside a precast double tee deck. The wall sits in between the web of two double tees, the outside of the wall sits too close to the web of one of the tees and does not allow the contractor to complete the top of wall nor install firecaulk at top of wall. Is there a detail where the side of the wall can be fire caulked to the side of the web? See attached pdfs 1 & 2.
