I'm certainly risking revealing my profound ignorance of advanced theory with this, but whatever:

Is your melody (or piece of the melody) in an actual Phrygian scale? F Phrygian?

The 3rd degree of a Phrygian scale is flatted, compared to Major. The III chord from harmonizing a Phrygian scale is a flatted Major chord, not a minor chord at all.

If your issue is that certain real tracks may be playing a note that clashes with your melody, then the above advice from others is excellent. It MAY be, though, that your harmony (or the spelling of your harmony) is more at fault.

or:

Confidence is high that any of those that contain a Bb will avoid the B even as a "flavor" note. Confidence is mixed that some may not instead introduce other undesired notes. Confidence is guarded that any particular Real Track may have some of the higher extension "jazzier" chords in repertoire, but who knows?

And if I'm missing or misunderstanding something altogether, feel free to ignore or call me rude names.
