I then started taking my stance first, making sure my feet were square to the target. I then gripped the club and got into my set up position. This worked a few times but my Dad informed me that my shoulders were aiming right.

I aim right with putting as well.

It's all very frustrating !
I would check to make sure you are not playing your ball too far back in your stance (since that can encourage you to get aligned out to the right). You might also benefit from modifying your preshot routine to walking up to ball and putting your club down behind the ball with your body still open to the target (see how Greg Norman walks up to the ball during his preshot routine in the video clip linked below).
