LVT CLick planks are bouncing and soft on places

Hi. In the middle of having quality 6mm LVT flooring click installed to through lounge, kitchen and hall. We had to raise and the floor, as quite some large gaps on one side of the house and used orb boards throughout, so seemed quite flat. The fitter has used green 5mm fibre wood underlay to allow for any irregular bits, to add the lvt which has an underlay already built in, however I notice some bounce and soft spots (even though it is fairly rigid the flooring) especially near walls and corners. Having read up it looks like the green underlay is only suitable for laminate or wood. Could this be the reason? Does it need to removed and relayed without it? He has nearly finished just the edges and beading to go. Thanks for any help and advice!
