I guess you figured out xclip is not inside the flatpak.. Did you try something like

flatpak run --command=keepassxc-cli org.keepassxc.KeePassXC open /home/user1/.../KeePassDatabase.kdbx show -a username /PATHTOANENTRY 45 | xclip -sel clip

Basically getting what you want on stdout and feeding it to xclip should do the trick
