Plasma-applet-window-buttons is NOT linked to the correct github file in pamac.
Though it shows up correctly: GitHub - moodyhunter/applet-window-buttons6: Plasma ~~5~~ (no, 6) applet in order to show window buttons in your panels · GitHub, this not what pamac downloads.
It downloads the depracated version: GitHub - psifidotos/applet-window-buttons: Plasma 5 applet in order to show window buttons in your panels · GitHub which is version 0.11.1 from years ago for some reason.
Try it yourself.

However, it looks like moodyhunter’s version (which was probably forked from psifidotos’ Plasma 5 version), whilst updating the actual package to work with Plasma 6, hasn’t updated the metadata sections of the code to reflect the newer version. This is why you are seeing version 0.11.1 & links to psifidotos’ Github page in the “About” section of the plasmoid’s configuration:
