SUMMARY

The clipboard plasmoid entry is not being shown in the System Tray expanded widget

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Not sure, but maybe move .config from one PC to another and the version of the plasma of the previous pc should be older (not the cause here, because I have done it year ago)

OBSERVED RESULT
see the screenshot + When I click on the clipboard tray icon - the clipboard widget will be shown, but I can't click on the search field like it is not interactive

This is expected, that expanded widget is for stuff not in the main area, and I can see clipboard there.

Do you have your other clipboard contents here when you copy things?

I have attached new screenshot with expanded clipboard widget.
When I copy things the clipboard widget remains like in the screenshot. I even can't click on the 'search' text field there - the element is not interactive
