The copper line is for toning and yes, you do want to ground it. We
will be grounding it. Else you can’t tone it if you put the tone on
at the HH.
Good idea on clamping the strength members but I am not going to put
them in the ground connector.

I think if your cable has any metallic component you're supposed to
ground it. I don't think there's any distinction made as to whether
it's a toning wire, armor, or what have you.
I'd clamp the FRP strength members if there's a way provided to do it
though.

FWIW I think you have an issue with the fiber mounting.
The "Ground Lug" is supposed to hold the Fiberglass strength
members from the drop cable. This helps keep the cable from
getting pistoned in or pulling out.
The copper line on the drop cable is a tracer and should not be
connected to anything at either end.
At least that is how I was taught.
