Ellis Johnson has three sources for his 1911 marriage to Helen Clark, in the "Virginia, Vital Records, 1853-1934", "Virginia, Marriages, 1785-1940" and"Virginia, Vital Records, 1715-1912" collections . If you go to his Sources tab and expand them, the following information will be displayed:
As you can see, in the first source, both parties' parents are described as "Parent" and "Second Parent", not "Father" and "Mother" as they are for the second and third sources. Apparently, in this case, the source linker is assuming that the "Parent" is the father and the "Second Parent" is the mother. So, there really isn't anything to fix from a user's perspective. The important thing is to ensure that the parents are correctly attached by name, which they are. The labelling of the fields will have been determined by the metadata for each collection.
A similar scenario applies to Ellis's sister Elizabeth (Lizzie).

Hi As explained above there is really nothing to fix because the source is attached to the right people. However, one of the very powerful things about the source linker is the ability to change the focus person. I have highlighted the change person prompts (see below)
The change person prompt on the right changes the focus person on the family search side of the source linker. The changer person prompt just to the left of center, changes the focus person on the source side of the source linker. If you select the change person prompt on the ride and select Stephen Johnson, you see that everything lines up. Alternatively, you could select the change person prompt on the left side, select Stephen Johnson and see that everything lines up.
These change person prompts are great tools that facilitate getting sources attached to the right people. Hope this helps.
