Homework Statement

So I am trying to accomplish the above by using spherical coordinates, I am aware the problem may be solved using dv=dxdydz= zdxdy were z is known but I would like to try it using a different approach (using spherical coordinates). Any help would be greatly appreciated

Judging from the integration limit, it can already be seen that your approach is misleading. In fact, you are just calculating the volume of a sphere of radius ##\sqrt{3}##.
Use cylindrical coordinate instead.
