Propose using some of the compost heap to fill then seed.

Any other suggestions?

I would have thought that homemade compost material would be too light
and crumbly for a satisfactory lawn infill. You need something
loam-based. Better still, use soil from elsewhere in the garden so that
it matches the lawn soil in that area. Otherwise, you could end up with
two bold stripes of a different shade of green.

In some of your pics, the dumper tracks appear to have compacted the
soil, causing water to lie on the surface. You need to open up and
aerate the soil here before you start filling in.

Hope this helps.
