Every time it the second reaches 0 or 1 ,2 ,3 etc, it starts flickering and changing the seconds to 0 then to the normal second,I want it to be like 00,01 and so on,how can I fix this or prevent it? Please show how you managed to fix it.

Example:

The second is 1

then it will be 01

and quickly change to 1 one again

while true do
    wait(.1)
--~--~--Varibles--~--~--~--~--
local ClientSeconds = tick()
Hour = math.floor(ClientSeconds/3600%60)
Minutes = math.floor(ClientSeconds/60%60)
Seconds = math.floor(ClientSeconds%60)
local TimeGui = script.Parent
local SecondsGui = script.Parent.Parent.Seconds
------Removes the Space between Minutes-------
if Minutes < 10
    then
 TimeGui.Text = Seconds
    TimeGui.Text = Hour..":".. "0"..Minutes--Removes space in Minutes
wait(.5)
SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
 TimeGui.Text = Hour.." ".. "0"..Minutes

else
     TimeGui.Text = Seconds
TimeGui.Text = Hour..":"..Minutes
wait(.5)
SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
TimeGui.Text = Hour.." "..Minutes
------Removes the Space between Seconds-------
if Seconds < 10
    then
    SecondsGui.Text ="0" ..Seconds --Removes Space In Seconds
TimeGui.Text = Hour..":"..Minutes
wait(.1)
SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
TimeGui.Text = Hour.." "..Minutes
else
 TimeGui.Text = Seconds
TimeGui.Text = Hour..":"..Minutes
wait(.1)
SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
TimeGui.Text = Hour.." "..Minutes

end
end
end

I fixed the flickering and a couple of problems in the script and made it look nicer (formatted better). Also removed unneeded setting of seconds text. (Seemed like you didn't want seconds to "flicker")

Script without 0 in front of seconds (no flickering):

while true do
    -- Clock was 0.5 to 0.6 seconds faster than it would be in real life
    wait(.4)
    --~--~--~-- Varibles --~--~--~--
    local ClientSeconds = tick()
    Hour = math.floor(ClientSeconds / 3600 % 60)
    Minutes = math.floor(ClientSeconds / 60 % 60)
    Seconds = math.floor(ClientSeconds % 60)
    local TimeGui = script.Parent
    local SecondsGui = script.Parent.Parent.Seconds
    ---- Removes the Space between Minutes ----
    if Minutes < 10 then
        TimeGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. ":" .. "0" .. Minutes -- Removes space in Minutes
        wait(.5)
        SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. " " .. "0" .. Minutes
    else
        TimeGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. ":" .. Minutes
        wait(.5)
        SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. " " .. Minutes
        SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
    end
end

Script with 0 in front of seconds (no flickering):

while true do
    -- Clock was 0.5 to 0.6 seconds faster than it would be in real life
    wait(.4)
    --~--~--~-- Varibles --~--~--~--
    local ClientSeconds = tick()
    Hour = math.floor(ClientSeconds / 3600 % 60)
    Minutes = math.floor(ClientSeconds / 60 % 60)
    Seconds = math.floor(ClientSeconds % 60)
    local TimeGui = script.Parent
    local SecondsGui = script.Parent.Parent.Seconds
    ---- Removes the Space between Minutes ----
    if Minutes < 10 then
        TimeGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. ":" .. "0" .. Minutes -- Removes space in Minutes
        wait(.5)
        SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. " " .. "0" .. Minutes
    else
        TimeGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. ":" .. Minutes
        wait(.5)
        SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
        TimeGui.Text = Hour .. " " .. Minutes
        ---- Removes the Space between Seconds ----
        if Seconds < 10 then
            SecondsGui.Text = "0" .. Seconds -- Put a zero in front of seconds
        else
            SecondsGui.Text = Seconds
        end
    end
end
