Error caused by through hole pad being in copper keepout

Layout

I am routing a Raspberry Pi Pico and it has a keepout area needed where some test pins could potentially short against any copper on the PCB. The problem is the keepout area also includes some holes. I am getting this DRC error:

How do I allow the keepout area that I have added myself and allow that to be in harmony with the Pico footprint’s holes?

Thanks.

Thruhole pads contain copper. Mechanical holes don’t. If that’s what you want, set the pad properties NPTH, Mechanical.

They are already set as NPTH mechanical:

Try setting the copper layers to ‘none’.
