Names were misspelled

On 2022 I joined this community because I was born in Cali, Valle del Cauca, Colombia and the most of my family records are from that Country. I was happy when I found my parents (Jaime Daniel Mejia and Maria Teresa Guzman Silva) marriage information at the Catedral of San Pedro in Cali, July 7, 1956 but very disappointed when I saw how my father's parents name were misspelled. There is not option to correct them. The parents of my father Jaime Daniel Mejia should be Gerardo Mejia and Libia Upegui (not Libardo Mejia neither Libia Upgi). I called once and the person that promised to help never corrected those. Maybe it was one of the records where somebody need to activate or change to "YES" these two names. I have helped with a lot of other records correcting information because I understand Spanish old handwriting but it has been my frustration not to be able to fix my grandparents information. There is not picture of the document attached to this record : May please somebody correct them this time? Appreciate!

The film with that marriage starts with 21st century baptismal records, so I doubt it will be available online any time soon, and if the image isn't available, then the index is not correctable.
The thing to keep in mind here is that even if it's all you have, the index is not the data. It is merely a finding aid for the data. Despite the errors, the index served its purpose: you found the record.
