RMQ operator can't import secrest created by External-secrets operator

[KyriosGN0]

Describe the bug

RMQ operator wants to set ownerRef on imported secrets to user

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
create a secret with ownerRef (like with external-secrets and setting the creationPolicy to Owner)
create rmq user with imported secret
the user will throw an error in its status, claming it can't take ownership of the secret

Expected behavior
the operator should not take control of imported secrets

I don't see how the user controller could be setting an owner reference on an external secret, given that it doesn't even watch them, see:

messaging-topology-operator/main.go

Lines 234 to 246 in 870860b

	if err = (&controllers.TopologyReconciler{
	Client: mgr.GetClient(),
	Type: &topology.User{},
	Log: ctrl.Log.WithName(controllers.UserControllerName),
	Scheme: mgr.GetScheme(),
	Recorder: mgr.GetEventRecorderFor(controllers.UserControllerName),
	RabbitmqClientFactory: rabbitmqclient.RabbitholeClientFactory,
	KubernetesClusterDomain: clusterDomain,
	WatchTypes: []client.Object{},
	ReconcileFunc: &controllers.UserReconciler{Client: mgr.GetClient(), Scheme: mgr.GetScheme()},
	ConnectUsingPlainHTTP: usePlainHTTP,
	MaxConcurrentReconciles: maxConcurrentReconciles,
	}).SetupWithManager(mgr); err != nil {

messaging-topology-operator/controllers/topology_controller.go

Lines 224 to 229 in 870860b

	if len(r.WatchTypes) == 0 {
	return ctrl.NewControllerManagedBy(mgr).
	For(r.Type).
	WithOptions(controller.Options{MaxConcurrentReconciles: r.MaxConcurrentReconciles}).
	Complete(r)
	}

Some YAML to reproduce the problem would be most welcome.
