Can you give more details, a screenshot showing tool options and layer modes often helps find a solution.

This is a standard setup (tool options detached so everything shows) using the clone tool in registered mode, cloning from layer-to-layer and when I difference the layers get the expected, they cancel each other out no difference between them https://i.imgur.com/rHqjMJy.mp4

As a start check tool mode / tool opacity / layer opacity / layer mode.  Does it happen with all brush types ?

Well, I changed the clone tool to heal and that fixed the issue, Thank you for your input, found the heal option with the test cloning to a new layer.
