Maiden Name on Passport vs Married Name with hyphen on JR PASS

Good day,

I already ordered a JR Pass but I overlooked that my passport and Japan visa is still in my maiden name -- while the JR Pass that I ordered is now under my married name but my married name is just my maiden name surname with a hyphen.

For example-- (Maiden Name on Passport: Smith, Jane // Married Name on JR PASS: Smith-Dy, Jane)

I'm worried that I might not be able to exchange it when I arrive in Japan this April 28.
