I work for a flooring manufacturer and had carpet removed and engineered hardwood installed in a new home in The Villages before moving in.
A vapor barrier over the concrete is a must. If you did not do that it's impossible to recover.
Did you do this as a DIY project? I'd be surprised if a professional installer would not recommend a vapor barrier. If it was professionally installed without a vapor barrier I'd be screaming at the installer to fix/replace it.
