What type of work is the staff aug?

Analyst and reporting work, basically a spreadsheet jockey and jack of all trades with unlimited scope at the client's discretion.

Basically working directly for the client.

I’m new to the immigration practice, and recently submitted an I-129 for 15 H-2B landscape workers. I knew the deadline would be close, but I convinced the client that we could take the chance. The cap count was reached after we submitted, so no approval. Is there any other avenue to bring over those workers or is he screwed?
