trim adaptors RNA-seq

Hello everyone, I am analyzing some published dataset. I runner fastqc to check the data quality first. The fastQC reports suggested that the overrepresented sequences seem to be the sequencing index. But I checked the sequencing for the index it indicated but they didn't match. Here is the overrepresented sequences the fastQC reported. AGATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACCGTACGATCTCGTATG And it gave me a possible source, TruSeq Adapter, Index 22 (97% over 49bp). I checked the sequences for index 22 online and it is 5’ GATCGGAAGAGCACACGTCTGAACTCCAGTCACCGTACGTAATCTCGTATGCCGTCTTCTGCTTG

They didn't match. So my question is that whether I should trim the second sequences or trim the overrepresented sequences fastQC reported. How can I be sure I trim the right sequences? Thank you very much.
