The best place to give this feedback is through the Feedback button that you see at the right-hand side of the first record.

The second record is just the image/index for the left-hand side of the image - so submitting the Feedback on the first record should be sufficient I believe.

The index-correction feature on FamilySearch is incomplete: not all collections (or fields within a collection) are correctable. This one appears to be among the non-correctable ones.

They're supposedly planning to expand the feature to more records over time. In the meantime, keep in mind that the index is not the data: it is merely a finding aid for the data. You can console yourself that despite the error, the index did its job: you found the record.
