Amend the motion and make sure the other party is properly served 16 court days before the hearing - add five calendar days if by mail. You can also try filing a supplemental declaration or bring it up in your reply to the other party's Response. Courts sometimes allow this, but will depend on whether you are making a new request of the court or just giving more reasons why your original request should be granted.
