Is it grammatically correct to use adverbs such as "however" in a conditional clause? I personally think it sounds off but I thought I may ask first before making my mind up. I didn't find any articles related to this subject either.

However is a marker of contrast, carrying the sense of "despite that" (see Cambridge Dictionaries).
This is a perfectly normal way to use it, provided that it is a statement that follows another, with a meaning that makes however appropriate. It doesn't matter whether it's conditional.

However is fine if you introduce a statement that is going to contradict something you've said before.
I am worried about your if-clause, though.
