How do I correct/report transcription error in a marriage, ie, 1825 should read 1805?

Are you referring to a "Transcription Error" in a "Source", that you have found and are attaching?
.
Or, are you a "Reviewer" in "Indexing"; and, you are referring to a "Transcription Error" by an "Indexer"?
.
Or, are you referring to an individual/person (really, a "Couple") in "Family Tree" of 'FamilySearch', where the 'Date' for the "Event" for "Marriage" appears to be incorrect.

Thanks for response
I am referring to a "Transcription Error" in a "Source", that I have found on a suggested match.
But I have not attached it as I believe the date is wrong

IF, the "Source" is for that of those that you wish to attach it; but, the 'Date' has been INCORRECTLY transcribed; THEN, ...
.
ATTACH IT ...
.
DO NOT, not attach it because of an incorrectly transcribed detail ...
.
Many "Sources" have ERRORS ...
.
Now, sometimes, those errors can be Addressed/Fixed (ie. "Edited"), while attaching; whereas, MANY errors CANNOT be Addressed/Fixed (ie. "Edited"), while attaching.
.
In the latter case, you can make a NOTE of the ERROR in the 'Title' of the "Source"; and, also, in other places in the body of the "Source" (eg. "Describe the Record (Notes)"; and, "Reason to Change Source").
.
IF, there is a "Feedback' link (usually, in 'Green') somewhere on, the "Index"; or, the associated "Image"; THEN, provide 'Feedback' about the ERROR.
.
And, furthermore, you could also submit a 'FamilySearch' "Support" Case (with the 'Categories' of, "Family Tree"; "Records"; "Indexing"; and, "Other") in relation to the ERROR in the "Source" (ie. Transcription/Indexing Error).
.
Just my thoughts.
