My paper is cited as ZZ Mohamed, where as it should be cited Zia ZM, I edited it to show the correct citation, now the name shown on the profile under the article is correct but if I click the "citation" icon it again shows the wrong citation
Note that profile owners can't change their "Cited-by" counts, and that updating an article in a profile does not change it in the Google Scholar search results. To make those kinds of corrections, you usually need to talk to the article's publisher; please refer to the inclusion guidelines.
When your publications are cited, the full reference is the name of the journal/publication, date, volume and maybe even page number, on top of your own name. There is also the DOI.
So if they have misspelled your name when they cite your work, it should not matter, if they actually cited your work. Google Scholar or Pubmed or Web of Knowledge etc should be able to discern that.
What might be the case, I suspect, is that your own name is not the same between your google scholar page and the name you used in your publications.
That might be the case if you have multiple middle names (and/or initials). Or if you have changed names, due to marriage or some other reason. If you have non-standard latin letters in your name, how they are "latinified" into English might be an issue as well.
