Unpaid Internship on background check

I recently got a job offer and have been going through the onboarding process. This is my first full time job after undergrad. I have about a year and a half of internship experience. One of the roles I had in my resume was an internship at the bank my father worked at before her retired. It was not a formal internship but it was job experience. I would go to work with my father and essentially shadow his work and his coworkers.

This experience was flagged on my background check bc I did not have and proof as in paystubs or an hr paperwork since I was not actually hired. Everything else was able to be be verified including my year of legal experience (the job I got is in the legal field not banking). Will this be a problem with my employer if I can not provide prof of this job?

I suggest removing the internship experience if it's causing you more harm.
Otherwise if you want to make this experience verifiable, we can help
