Filing N-600 by claiming citizenship through my father

Hello everyone,

Here is context and hopefully you can help me out. I moved to the US when I was a minor (my dad was a US Citizen then). However, he wasn't aware that I can immediately claim my citizenship since I am a minor and under his custody, so he got me the green card.
My dad obtained his citizenship after I was born.
Two years ago, I thought that after living in the US for 5 years I can apply to be naturalized, however after I applied and got the interview, the agent informs me that I am a US Citizen since I entered the US as a minor with my US Citizen father and advised me to apply for the Passport. I apply for the passport with sufficient proof and information and they gave me my US Passport.
I am currently trying to apply to get the Certificate of Citizenship and I am stuck on one part of the form. It is asking for my US Citizen parent's physical presence in the US (see Photo 1 in attachments) However, when looking at part 6 in the paper N-600 form, it asks to fill that part out if I was born to US Citizen, which isn't my case. Do I still have to fill it out on the online form? What am I supposed to do?
"NOTE: Only applicants born outside the United States claiming to have been born U.S. citizens are required to provide all the dates
when your U.S. citizen biological father or U.S. citizen biological mother resided in the United States. "

My father has no recollection of the times of his physical presence in the US since I was born and he flew in and out frequently.

Please help me out, I need this document filled and submitted ASAP, much appreciated.

Residing is where you live permanently, so it doesn’t matter when he was flying in and out, assuming that he wasn’t leaving to reside elsewhere for long periods on these trips. Just list the start and end dates of his long term residence.
I’d also suggest checking you correctly filled in prior answers, because from what I recall when I filled in the N600 for my child, it only asked questions that were relevant to my prior answers. Edit: I just dug out my kid’s n600 and that section was blank, which means I wasn’t asked to fill it in.
