Trying to figure out how to model this and got stuck. Can't seem to wrap my head around creating the clips off the main part. I've made the center part…

Pretty easy. Make two sketches: One top view like in your picture, and one side view. Then create either two volumes and use booleans, or create one extruded surface from the side view (that will have the half circle) and intersect it with the top view. Use thicken to create the volume.
Work trough the tutorials: This issue is covered there.

This is where I would use the "intersect" option in the "extrude" command. Two profiles at 90 deg., (top & right) with two extrudes - the last extrude using intersect. Martin's method works too- this is just a alternate method. Good luck
