Some is put in my family tree incorrectly
I found it like this. I was searching up my grandmother's parents, and found a record already placed for them. Both mom and dad. The only problem is, my grandmother's mother was recorded correctly, while my grandmother's father was recorded as my grandmother's mother's father. I added my grandmother's father into the tree correctly, but since I wasn't the one to put him in the other place INCORRECTLY, I don't seem to have an option to fix it. Please help? I don't know what to do here.

Because the FamilySearch Family Tree is a shared program, anyone can make corrections when incorrect relationships have been developed.
It would have been helpful for you to provide the ID numbers for the records you are referring to so that we could provide specific instructions about how to make needed corrections.
Since we don't have the specific ID numbers for the deceased individuals who need to be corrected, all we can do is provide knowledge articles from our Help Center which explain how to correct family relationships.
When a person is connected to the wrong parents, please use this first knowledge article to correct parent-child relationships.
When someone has been connected to the wrong spouse, you must remove any children connected to an incorrect couple before you can delete the incorrect relationship. It sounds like this is what you will need to do since you have already added the correct couple relationship separately.
If you review these articles and still have questions about how to correct the information in your Pedigree, please reply directly to the personal message I will be sending you. It would be the best way for me to assist you with this concern if you need additional help.

Just one additional comment, Abigail: because your question is about correcting information in the Family Tree program, we are moving this post to the Family Tree category. Don't be alarmed if you see your post marked as Closed because of the move. It will be closed in the FamilySearch Community category, but it will be active in the Family Tree category so that others who work in Family Tree can comment on your concern or see the knowledge articles that I have provided in my response.
