This noise has happened 4 times in 116 miles. First time was backing out of my garage while turning slightly, it was 2 or 3 short loud clinks that felt like the clutches releasing or the rear differential adjusting, I'm not sure but I am sure Honda would not make a product that would do this. I have checked all lubricant levels everything is correct. Note: it has never made the sound more than one time in a day and always in the morning. Please advise.

There is no "adjusting" for the rear diff to do, its locked solid.
Questions....
Is it always the same speed?
Only in reverse?
Only while turning?

If its your first vehicle with a dual clutch set up it can take some getting used to, they can seem noisy & clunky, especially at low speeds.

Sorry I have only noticed it once in reverse going slow while turning , twice going forward in low while turning slightly but the one that worries me was when riding with myself and 3 other adults in low gear going down steep rocky grade it clunked 3 quick times loud! So I stopped put in high to finish the grade inspected the unit everything looked okay so we continued, I tried to get it to do it again but didn't do it the rest of the day in low or high

I would double check your shift cable just to make sure. It doesn't totally sound like that's your problem but I would check it anyway. Otherwise it could be a pop from your rear axles.

It seems to do it when it's not warmed up totally I'll have replicated the same thing and with a different result it doesn't do it
