Mistake in primary app experience classification?

I worked (unpaid internship) in a clinical research lab for two semesters and classified it as a research experience since it was a "research lab". I did complete an independent research project that probably took 25 hours out of my 300 total hours. However, I'm starting to think that I should have created two separate entries: one for clinical volunteering and another for research, since the majority of my internship was spent interacting with patients. I'm worried that my clinical volunteering experience looks pretty weak now, since I only have about 100 hours of other clinical volunteering. Is it worth contacting adcoms about this? Or is it too late?

Do you have other clinical experience?

I volunteered at a hospital over the summer and also volunteered as a medical interpreter at a free clinic that served primarily low-income and disadvantaged populations.

If those experiences were significant and you can talk about them well, then I wouldn’t worry about reclassifying.
