Keenan — unfortunately Facebook is deprecating the ability in the API to edit previews attached to link posts. https://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/2017/06/27/API-Change-Log-Modifying-Link-Previews/

We were developing this functionality when this was announced but now have shelved it, and i am sure Buffer will removing it soon, if they haven’t already.

Best way i think is to upload a different image with the link post and put your own text — from our experience you get better organic reach doing this anyhow than just posting a link post, but of course it takes more time!
