My daughter has a somewhat similar problem with the lens hood on her D7200. The hood is fine until she uses the built-in flash. Then she gets a shadowy arc on the bottom of the photos. The solution for that is obvious - remove the hood.
I don't know if that would work or not in this case, but it's worth a try.
The built in flash isn't designed for use with zoom lenses with lens hoods.
