The rationale I have is below, but the tl;dr answer is:
Use the Augmentation Essence Cost Permanent Adjustment under the Personal Tab.
Yeah it should already be paid for by the capacity, but does it say that anywhere? Like how a modular shoulder or hip is only 0.2 ESS, but the full limb for it is an entire point, even though you got your arm cut off. I mean, it makes perfect sense, but the weird confusing screed that is the modular limb description doesn't mention it. It seems to be RAW that stuff costs in ESS what it costs unless there's a specific Capacity listed for the augment. And there isn't, so it seems like not a bug because in the absence of a specific rule, the Essence cost stacks, otherwise, you're doing a GM ruling/houserule. It's completely illogical, but it's written that way. Even still, if you plugged a betaware arm in it, you'd lose less Essence even though your arm was still cut off!
