Please help me with an author name issue

Also, yes per GR policy you will need the periods (P.J. Nwosu). A lot of new authors make that mistake, luckily this was an easy fix.
I really hope you can help me. Thanks so much for your time!
I am author PJ Nwosu, and was making a small edit to one of my books when I saw the author name had been changed from PJ Nwosu to P.J. Nwosu. I didn't think much of it and changed the name back to the correct PJ Nwosu (the name on my Amazon author account and my book covers) but then I realised that my name had been changed across the board to P.J. Nwosu by a librarian to match the Goodreads naming policy, which I hadn't realised.
This means, because I accidentally changed my one book (A Pale Box on the Distant Shore) to the name PJ Nwosu, it is no longer attached to my author profile (which is now P.J. Nwosu), and I can't reclaim it as the author name is now different to the rest of my titles.
Even though my author name is indeed PJ Nwosu (not P.J. Nwosu) I am happy for my author name to be either way on goodreads if that is the correct naming policy, but I am hoping someone can help me reclaim all my books under one name.
I really hope you can help!
So sorry for making that name change if that was not the correct thing to do, in line with the naming policy, I hadn't realised I was making a mistake.
Thank you so much for your time!
PJ Nwosu
