After your Clara BW finishes the setup, you should then be able to use the sideload mode by adding under the [ApplicationPreferences] header: SideloadedMode=true and restarting your Kobo.

If you connect the Clara to your computer and power up, does your computer make a couple of beeps as the USB connection is created and lost? Assumes your computer gives an audible beep when an USB connection is made. Are you using a USB-A to USB-C cable or a USB-C to USB-C cable?
When I went to register, you either have to sign into a Kobo account, which requires email verification, or pick from a list of other options like Apple, Walmart, and probably 15 others. I did not see any way to put in a fake email.
