Gatsby, in The Great Gatsby, is single-minded and totally dedicated to recapturing his relationship with Daisy. He is obsessed. So there certainly isn't any internal conflict concerning his goal, etc.
Any internal conflict one sees in Gatsby would have to be between want he wants and what he doesn't have. He totally wants Daisy, but she was stolen, in his mind, by somebody else, and he can't have her.
He spends five years of his life searching for her and preparing himself and his image in an attempt to win her back. That is the conflict that Gatsby faces concerning Daisy.
