Odd. I installed KOReader/Plato on a friend's Clara Colour running 4.42.23296 and after updating KOReader, it worked.

My procedure was to
  1. Download the install.ps1 script, the OCP package for KOReader/Plato, the uninstaller for KFMon and the latest KOReader Nightly build for Kobo (the link is to the latest nightly when I was writing this message).
  2. Use the install.ps1 script to install the OCP package, safely eject and wait for the install to finish.
  3. Copy the KFMon uninstaller's KoboRoot.tgz to the .kobo directory on your Kobo and safely eject. Again wait for the install to finish.
  4. In the .adds/nm directory, edit the koreader and plato files to remove all but the last two lines. On the last line remove the # to uncomment the last line.
  5. Unzip the nightly .zip file and copy the koreader directory to the .adds directory on your Kobo. When prompted, overwrite all files.
  6. When prompted, safely eject your Kobo and then reboot it (if you have that configured in NickelMenu, that's the easiest way.

The lines in the koreader and plato files should look like the following. Alternatively, you can copy the lines to your NickelMenu config file and delete the koreader, plato and kfmon files from the .adds/nm directory.

Code:
# Launch KOReader directly via NM (>= KOReader 2020.05)
menu_item : main : KOReader : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/koreader/koreader.sh

# Launch Plato directly via NM
menu_item : main : Plato : cmd_spawn : quiet : exec /mnt/onboard/.adds/plato/plato.sh
