OCP 4.16.0-0.nightly-2024-05-19-083311

ODF 4.16.0-102.stable

Gitops 1.12.2

How reproducible: This issue was seen on multiple setups.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Install ACM 2.11 on OCP 4.16
2. Install GitOps Operator
3. Create GitOpsCluster CR and check it's phase in the yaml

apiVersion: apps.open-cluster-management.io/v1beta1
kind: GitOpsCluster
metadata:
  name: gitops-cluster-sample
  namespace: openshift-gitops
spec:
  argoServer:
    cluster: local-cluster
    argoNamespace: openshift-gitops
  placementRef:
    kind: Placement
    apiVersion: cluster.open-cluster-management.io/v1beta1
    name: all-openshift-clusters

Actual results:  GitOpsCluster CR fails with secret not found error
