Resolved the Manifest issues..
However the upgrade loop is caused by the Publisher not creating a DisplayVersion, you'll need to contact the dev about the issue and do a Hotfix in the meantime

Open regedit
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\ClipX
Create a String called DisplayVersion
Set the Value to the version you got installed, i would recommend reinstalling the version so you get 1.0.3.8

This should stop happening when microsoft/winget-cli#1765 makes it into a release (no ETA yet, unfortunately).
