I think that you understand that there's an adjustment period for new umpires to adult leagues. One suggestion I would make is to let the catchers know at the beginning of the game that you're open to communication.
I will sometimes say, after introducing myself: "If you think that I'm consistently missing a pitch, please let me know between innings." This approach lets them know that I'm open to discussion, provided that it's discreet.
