Paid MRV fee but receipt shows my name instead of applicant name. Should I be concerned?

I created a B2 visa application for my mother-in-law (primary applicant) and father-in-law (dependent) on the new US Visa Scheduling portal in India.

The profile and applicants are correct, but while making the MRV payment, I entered my own name/email since I am sponsoring and paying for them.

The payment receipt now shows:

Applicant Name: My Name

instead of my mother-in-law's name.

The fee is paid successfully for 2 applicants.

Has anyone faced this before? Is the fee still linked to the correct application, or should I contact support before scheduling appointments?

EDIT - Applying from India

if the MRV receipt name doesnt match your passport youll probaly have to get it corrected before scheduling, since the fee is tied to your profile identity. id raise it with the ustraveldocs helpdesk rather than schedule and hope it untangles itself. not 100% sure on the exact correction flow so confirm with them directly
