How good/bad is my dissectum doing after rescue repot?

I‘m based in Germany and took over this tree on April 20th.

-someone went berserk and chopped mayor branches, causing a huge dieback and stress.

-trunk base has been buried deep into the soil with slate over it and ivy growing around, so the bark is coming off on one side.

-I straightened the roots and pruned them removing around 15-20% but there’s lots of fine roots intact.

-planted it into pumice, soil and two hands full

of sphagnum moss

- last weekend has been hot and followed by rain. I left the tree at work and asked a coworker to take care of it, but I‘m afraid, he didn’t get enough water when the heat came this weekend.

-the tree is located on the corner of a courtyard facing north and is only getting very little direct sunlight.

The pictures I attached are going back chronologically.

1-6 were taken yesterday and the others at the day of repotting 2,5 weeks ago.

What do you guys think? Any advise how to make it get through well?
