Screenshot is not letting me choose clipboard as the save location

See the following from Take a screenshot on your Mac - Apple Support

To copy a screenshot to the Clipboard, press and hold the Control key while you take the screenshot.

You should still see Clipboard as an option…

Try booting into Safe Mode, then restart normally.

FWIW, I just had a closer look at your screen shot. You have "Record Entire Screen" selected. You can't copy a video recording to the Clipboard. That's why it's not in the list.

Where to find screenshots

By default, screenshots save to your desktop with the name ”Screen Shot [date] at [time].png.”

In macOS Mojave or later, you can change the default location of saved screenshots from the Options menu in the Screenshot app. You can also drag the thumbnail to a folder or document.
