Metadata plugboards do not have an option to set the series info. For other devices, it is common to use a plugboard to add the series info to the title. But, if you are seeing the series info on a Kobo device for a sideloaded book, it has nothing to do with a metadata plugboard.

Before the firmware update, the book in question showed no series, as expected. After the update, NOVEL showed up under the title. Plus, it showed as number 11 in the series, which tells me there are more books not loaded on the Clara. Also, on the new series tab, NOVEL shows as a series with that book in it.

All books are sideloaded with calibre and I don't sync with Kobo, so it doesn't come from there.

I removed the book from the Clara, ran Modify epub and reloaded it. Disconnected and reconnected and the series was gone.

I'm just trying to figure out the other 10 or more books that seem to be in that series but it doesn't show up anywhere in calibre. I have quite a few books and don't want to run Modify epub on all of them.

I guess loading all books not in series on the Clara would give me a list. Just hoping there was another way to identify them.
You are over-thinking this. If you are only sideloading books, then seeing a series in the Series tab means you have a book in the calibre library with that series name. If you look at the series and only book 11 is there, all it means is that book 11 of that series is on the device. It doesn't mean that the others are there.

As the series disappeared after sending the book again, it means you fixed the metadata and removed the series from the book. That automatically fixed things when you connected the device.

As to finding the series in calibre, you can use the tag browser on to find it it. Expand the series tree and look for it. Or do a search. But, as I said above, having book 11 in a series doesn't mean you have any of the other books.
