Welcome.
With no play in your case, I agree there was no interference.
Expounding a bit more on the situation
if there had been a play: While it is true that interference can and often is unintentionaly, remember that this could be just a "train wreck" if in your judgement the fielder was properly running their base. I envision from your original discription that the fielder touched 2B for the force out, then took a step toward 1B, right into the path that R2 was running. If R2 was essentially already "right there" and the fielder just kind of took a step in that direction and then the collision happened, it was probably a good no-call even if there had been a play.
Of course if I'm envisioning that incorrectly... nevermind.
