Fire block in basement

I am finishing a room in my basement. I am trying to figure out how to horizontal fire block walls where concerts foundation is. Where the foundation is the same height as joists it is easy but part of the walls the foundations steps down with the grade and the rest of the foundation wall is stud framed and insulated. I built room walls and just started them a few inches in front of foundation walls. There is nothing between stud wall and foundation walls. It was easy attaching blocking from top of stud wall to foundation where it’s ceiling height. But where the foundation is lower am I attaching fireblock to the basement stud wall to my new room stud wall? I used 1/2 drywall for blocking.
