The only way I know to do it is get the foam replacement set. When I had to order the set for some Storms and Pelicans they were around $80 a set and you can't buy individual pieces. Starlight may be different though, I would give them and/or a starlight dealer a call.
+1 on the nylon gun case.

Not sure what model you have, but mine has 2 thick layers of foam. I would just put the cut piece on the bottom and cut the other piece to fit your current setup.
+1 on nylon case in the hard case too
I only use the hard case for the airline or long bumpy trips. Once I get to the destination. I'll put the rifle together and just strap the soft case on my ruck (Eberlestock). Then all based on the situation.

Have you tried calling the company that made the case to see if they can sell you some replacement?
Brent, do you use the 2.2LB Polyethylene?
You could try these guys:
Custom Foam Inserts for Pelican Cases
I haven't used them myself, but I've heard good things.

yes, very solid, almost rigid. but not like the original foam. the original is open cell foam, they have that also
Did you call? I cant seem to find it on the website
I emailed and they responded fairly quickly. They had several densities of foam for cases. [email protected] was the person who replied to my email.
Hope this helps.

I went with a local case maker by me to do my pelican. They used the noodle foam for pool toys and custom cut it out to fit everything I keep in my rifls case. It cost me $100 ehich is not much more than the cheap pluck foam... if you can swing it, I think youll be very pleased in the longrun.
Not sure how dimensionally different the Starlight is from the Pelican 1750, if I remember correctly my 50cal is in a Starlight and it's slightly bigger than a 1750. I know Cheaper than Dirt has pissed off alot of people on this forum, but I"ve bought replacement foam sets from them for the 1750s for I want to say $65 a set or so.
I got ahold of a bunch of 1750 cases without foam and talked to Foam Factory and even got foam samples from them. They were awesome to deal with, but I just didn't feel like going through the hassle of custom ordering all the different thicknesses and materials.
