But the 50-year-old is relaxed about the situation and believes the end of Euro 2024 could spark the summer window into life.
Clement admitted at the weekend that the club had to sell players before making any major signings.
The Belgian has so far signed back-up goalkeeper Liam Kelly plus four players who are either 20 or 21 – defenders Jefte and Clinton Nsiala, former Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron and Moroccan forward Hamza Igamane.
Clement told Rangers TV: “I have had a lot of pre-seasons and in this way of working and the expectations from outside. You know that everyone expects that all the new players will be in now.
“When I was younger, a first-time manager, I was also nervous about that. And now I know that it’s not possible, with the Euros or World Cup. So you need time.
“We have been looking at a lot of players in these last weeks and months, had a lot of talks. Some deals we could do, some deals not, and everybody is working hard on that.
“We are not where we want to be at the end of August but I don’t think we are the only team in the world. I know supporters want that but it’s not possible.
