@customers is being declared as an array, which is indexed by integer, but you are passing in a symbol.

If you're looking to find a customer by :group_name

<%= @customers.detect { |customer| customer[:group_name] == <GROUP_WANTED> } %>

@customers is an array

<div id="group_name" class="group-name">
  <h1>
    <%= @customers.first[:group_name] %> #or @customers[0][:group_name]
  </h1>
</div>
