What would everyone use around Class A pipe to seal it around the opening in the cinder block wall we put an 8" hole in?

The pipe is snug but there's a few gaps here and there. What do you suggest I seal it with?

Contractor said Firestop foam......

Don't think that's correct...?

Absolutly not it needs to be non combustible and firestop foam is very combustible. We use mortar
 
Depending on how big your gaps are, just leaving it as is and putting a sheet metal plate on both sides should work as well.

Yea the gaps are pretty minuscule. I was thinking maybe pushing some fire gasket into the front and then putting the sheet metal ring up to help keep it in place.
