Description of problem:

While registering managed clusters to Openshift gitops operator  the cluster-secret for the managed clusters are not getting created.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

OCP 4.15

ACM 2.10

Gitops Operator 1.12.1

How reproducible:

Diable image registry and follow the steps to register managed clusters to gitops operator 

Steps to Reproduce:

1. oc project openshift-image-registry
   oc edit configs.imageregistry.operator.openshift.io

2. set managedState to Removed

3. spec:
   logLevel: Normal
   managementState: Removed
   observedConfig: null
   operatorLogLevel: Normal
   proxy: {}
   replicas: 1
   requests:
   read:
   maxWaitInQueue: 0s
   write:
   maxWaitInQueue: 0s
   rolloutStrategy: RollingUpdate
   storage: {}

4. follow steps to register managed cluster to gitops operator
