Are quran verses interpreted apologetically or objectively

I had apostated a while ago because I was ignorant on matters of islam in terms of actual proof that is comes from Allah, so I searched the internet a lot to find proof, and after a long time I cam across hamza tzortis videos and relearned about something called Isnad, and then saw it as strong proof to believe, so now I want to convert back to islam and become muslim, but there are some problems that prevented me form believing even through these proofs. An ignorant female,meanings not qualified to talk about islam the way she does, said that the quran has errors and contradictions, so I told them a very simple thing which is you cant use a seemingly contradictory verse as evidence against islam if you realize that there is a need to interpret verses, very simple. But she just said "or admit its flawed" and I said fro what, if interpretation is necessary then why immediately call the quran flawed and then insult it due to your opinion, she even admitted herself that 'you don't need a scholar to understand islam, you can form your own opinion" why are you insulting islam based off of opinion instead of a verifiable fact? But my problem is in wondering how scholars interpret verses,do they interpret it apologetically, to make sure that it is interpreted in a way that makes it seem free of error or contradiction, o is there an objective way, to interpret the verses, this is what caused me doubt. The quran shows that verses aren't to be interpreted based off of your desires, meaning that there is an objective way to interpret it, but does that apply to all verses , as the quran says some verses meanings are known only to Allah. For example, the female brought up the food of hell as a contradiction, first it said they only eat foul pus, and then it says they only eat dhari and then only zaqqum. Dhari is part of zaqqum, so does that mean that foul pus comes from dhari? SO the question is this: is the quran cleared of contradictions with biased or unbiased interpretations? Now I understand that there will of course be some apologetic interpreters, but the question I have is is purposefully apologetically interpreting verses common amongst most interpreters? Interpreting apologetically can mean things like making sure it aligns with science as well.
