Metallic hydrogen only forms when hydrogen is stable molecules of H2. The Sun is way too hot to form metallic hydrogen. The Sun is completely ionized into plasma.

It isn't surprising that there is messy magnetic field when Sun is pure conductor.

Metallic hydrogen probably has something to do with magnetic field on Jupiter.
