Club Soccer but not sports powerhouse High School

No, it won’t hurt. Many high school kids are assigned to a high school that just isn’t known for sports or don’t offer the sport your child is interested in. Recruiting from club is fine.

My daughter’s high school team was just average, and her club team wasn’t well know either (her club had about 10 kids in her grade so they let younger kids play up; the other club in town had about 5 teams for just her age group). Her club coach developed a relationship with her college coach and there are 5 kids from the club on the team, and one just signed for next year.

Work your club coaches. See who they know.
