Pension Sharing Agreement - Applied to incorrect plan

Following a string of disasters through poor work by my solicitor I have discovered today yet another blunder, one that I know I should have also picked up on but...
I have 2 pension plans, within divorce settlement it was agreed that 34% of the larger plan be shared to my ex-wife. Initial draft documents were produced by my solicitor and featured the smaller plan number. These were amended by myself and returned, however subsequent documents were produced without the change and I failed to notice.
The court order was granted and applied to the smaller fund and the transfer has now been completed.... This means that my ex-wife has only received about 1/3 of what was agreed in the settlement...
How do I go about getting this issue resolved, I've already paid my solicitor a small fortune for what they have done so far and received some compensation for their inadequacies along the line, I don't really want to have to get them to do yet more work and add to both mine and my ex-wives legal bill...
Any help or where to go for more advice would be very much appreciated
