Our domain is https:// tuner.efrac.com
Our app and its App Clip are on the App Store, id = 730565023
Both our main app AND the App Clip have associated domain entries: appclips:tuner.efrac.com
apple-app-site-association file is present in both locations: /apple-app-site-association and /.well-known/apple-app-site-association on the tuner.efrac.com website

Now:

QR code imgur.com/a/tKB1VCW opens the website instead of opening the card.
iMessage shows the preview card as expected, the Open button launches the App Clip as expected, but if you tap the upper part of the iMessage preview (i.e. the picture, not the Open button), the website is opened.
Smart App Banner is displayed correctly and opens the App Clip.

And what about the iMessage App Clip preview card? Should the upper part of the card (the one with the image) open our website instead of opening our App Clip? Many users tap the image instead of tapping the Open button.

Have you tried adding a corresponding app link? https://developer.apple.com/documentation/safariservices/supporting_associated_domains

{
"appclips": {
"apps": ["Z7Z74TFKB7.com.efrac.tunerios.Clip"]
},
"applinks": {
"apps": [],
"details": [
{
"appID": "Z7Z74TFKB7.com.efrac.tunerios.Clip",
"paths": ["/path/to/experience/* "]
}
]
}
}

@efrac: yes, the tap target for the top portion of the rich link presentation in Messages is expected to open the webpage. This is visually indicated by the browser icon and domain listing.
