Hello!
I hope this is the right part of the forum.

I cut down a lightweight concrete wall in the hallway where a doorway used to be to create a bit more open space.
The problem is that it became very uneven, and on one side a lightweight concrete block fell out. What is the easiest way to attach this?

A partially demolished light concrete wall in a hallway, showing uneven edges and missing blocks, where a doorway once was.

On the other side, it looked easier until I noticed that the walls before/after the section I removed are different. About a 1.5 cm height difference. Chisel out the mortar that protrudes and try to make a smooth transition with filler? Alternatively, plasterboard?
I'm a novice at this, so all opinions are appreciated.

Avoid putting it back, fill with expanding foam. and as you said, smooth out and spackle.
 
Expanding foam is likely to burst the wall piece on the right that is still intact. Instead, fill it in with joint compound or C-bruk.
 
Gypsum plaster is very nice to work with, I noticed when I patched cracks in the basement's lightweight concrete wall.
 
Plaster! The downside is the drying time :)
 
I also cast my vote for gipsbruk. Gypsum can be applied in thicknesses between 2-60mm per batch without reinforcement. Absolutely wonderful to work with.
 
Thanks a lot for the tips :) I assume the plaster is sandable? I bought a chisel to clean out the "groove" shown in picture 2. But it wasn't very effective. Feels like a jackhammer is a bit overkill..?

Can't you embed a plasterboard? That way it becomes smooth immediately. It can be difficult to spackle evenly.
 
Gypsum filler is not directly sandable but works excellently for filling and can then be topped with a more easily sandable sand filler!
