Unfortunately, FamilySearch does not currently have any means of adding anything to an already-published index, and we have been told at various times that no, material cannot be sent back for re-indexing. So in other words, there's nobody you can contact.
If you know who Adam is, you can attach the image as a source for his naturalization, bypassing the faulty index.
If you don't know him but are feeling motivated, you can try to find him in FamilySearch's Family Tree or in other public genealogies. Otherwise, you can simply hope that his relatives don't rely solely on indexes in their research.
