This Social Security webpage explains that the Social Security Administration only considers the first and last name to be important (with occasional exceptions). If your issue is about a middle name or a suffix the webpage may help.– Gerard AshtonAug 7, 2019 at 0:05

According to the Social Security Administration, you can get a corrected card free of charge by submitting a new application documenting the correct name.
Since you would presumably be submitting the same documents you used in the initial application, you may want to include a short letter explaining what the error is. It should state the name the name exactly as you want it to be on the card.
