How do I edit/report that an indexed record is connected to the wrong image?
Sarah Pratt (LJ2C-87Z) has a burial record attached to her profile. It lists her burial as 26 Nov 1757 in Hurstpierpoint, Sussex, England.
However, the image attached to the index is from 1736 in Horsted Keynes, Sussex.

That particular collection is designated as a Legacy Collection meaning no additions/changes will be made. https://www.familysearch.org/en/wiki/England_Deaths_and_Burials_-_FamilySearch_Historical_Records

So, can I report a problem to someone who can fix it at FS? Because someone trying to find the record won't be able to.

In old indexes like this -- which will not be fixed by anyone at FS, that's what "no additions/changes will be made" means -- the image identifications are often "off" from the digitized images. This is because back when the index was made, by a person sitting at a microfilm viewer, the image identifiers (numbers) were often not the same as they are in the scanned version: various filming/digitizing bookmark images were or were not included in the numbering, the numbering started from zero instead of one, or errors in numbering have either crept in or been corrected since then.
The correct image for Sarah's burial is 833 (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-62WW-KX?i=832&cc=1473016), and both it and the one that's associated with the index entry (792) are from the bishop's transcript from the parish of Hurstpierpoint. The first two items on that film are from Horsted Keynes, so that's what the new-viewer-and-editor reports for the entire image group. It's also the tab label in the old viewer, but the Information tab at the bottom of that has the correct identification for Item 3.
(You can get from a new-viewer-and-editor page like https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-62W8-FW?view=index&action=view to the old viewer by deleting the question mark and everything after it from the URL: https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/3:1:S3HT-62W8-FW.)
For Sarah Pratt's profile, I suggest adding the correct image number (and/or a link to the image) to the Notes/Description field of the attached source.

That I can add a note to the description field is helpful. I didn't realize I could do that. I will do so.
Thank you.
