私の恋人のみどり My lover Midori

外面がいいことが悩みだという不器用な人

On the outside is fine she's a clumsy person.

What I don't understand is 悩みだという acting here. Am I missing something?

Noun だという adjective+ noun
The clause 悩みだという modifies 不器用. It tells you what kind of clumsy she is: the
kind about which one might say (the という construction) "that's
distressing/problematic" (悩みだ).

You can parse it like this:

> 『[外面]{そとづら}がいいことが悩みだ』という［不器用な］人

> _Literally_ A ［clumsy］ person who claims "My trouble is that I'm double-
> faced"

[外面]{そとづら}がいい means "being nice to everybody except one's family".
