If you're comfortable poking around the source code, you could add
another case to drivers/tripplite-hid.c (~ line 205) to check for your
product ID (0x3012). Not sure how hard that is to work into the Gentoo
package, but I imagine someone here could help if you get stuck.

There still may be some other adjustments needed to the driver, but
this will let us see the debug output from the tripplite-hid.c/h
files.

I am not sure if the UPS can identify the plug type in its status messages.
