I'm doing a research project for school on the apollo missions and I have
been having trouble finding information on what was used to shield the
apollo vehicles when they passed through the van allen belts. I've found
some radiation statistics I'm curious how they solved this problem.

They didn't. The Apollo capsules carried no addition "shielding" beyond
their structural mass. They relied on passing through the van Allens quickly
enough that the integrated radiation dose was within "acceptable" limits.
