What firmware version do you use? I dont have a lot experience with extententions but in my 6.7.7 deployment i can successfull download the extension.
Also read the release note there is some known issue arround.
"Customers whose networks include addresses in the 172.17.0.0/16 network are advised to either disable the ClearPass Extension service or to contact TAC for assistance in re-allocating the Extensions to use a different network address space. For more information, see #34161."
Another thing thats up my mind but not sure if its relevant to extensions, did you activate de clearpass licenses and add a hpe passport account for download subciption in the CPPM?
Hope this helps you!
