Just to add to Yisrael’s comments above, your post is asking for help about using the Google Click Identifier which is part of Google and not part of Wix, therefore that is why you were told that it was not able to provide support for you as you are using third party provided script.
As mentioned clearly on Wix pages here.
Important:
We cannot provide support for external codes that were not created or tested with Wix. If you are experiencing an issue with your code snippet, please contact the provider directly.

Wix does not provide support for technical difficulties associated with third-party code snippets. If you are experiencing an issue with your code snippet, please contact the provider directly.

The same as was mentioned in a previous forum post reply about the same thing.

Nobody is telling you to go figure as you put it, Wix Support will tell you to go here as they don’t deal with anything that is code related. However, the Wix Corvid Forum is only for Wix related code issues and not for providing help with third parties code, which for help with that you should really be contacting the third party themselves and asking their own support.
As for your question, can we assume that you have done everything as stated in the Google instructions for gclid as shown here for your Google Ads account.

Or as mentioned on the page, you can use Google Tag Manager to collect the gclid, as mentioned on the same page.
Wix already provide support for Google Tag Manager.

Tip: Use Google Tag Manager to collect the GCLID
If you have a Google Tag Manager account and use the same field name across all forms, you can use it to implement the above script by following these steps:
-
Log into your Google Tag Manager account at http://www.google.com/tagmanager .
-
Under “Accounts,” click the name of the account with the container you use for your Google Ads tags.
-
Under “Containers,” click the name of the container you want to use.
-
Click the New button, then select Tag from the drop-down menu.
-
Enter a name in the “Tag Name” field (you might want to use something like “Google Ads Click ID Collection for Conversion Import”).
-
Under “Tag Type,” select Custom HTML Tag from the drop-down menu.
-
Copy the JavaScript from step 2 above and paste it into the “HTML” field.
-
Under “Firing Rules,” click the +Add button. Check the box next to “All pages” and click Save .
-
Click Save .
-
Click the Create Version button.
-
Click the Publish button.
Anyways, thankfully Christopher has provided you with a solution above for using it within Wix and I have found this page helpful too when using it myself, although that was not with a Wix website.

Finally, if you want to have them put a parameter in the url of your website, then you can use Wix-Router for that.
