Export for Distribution on CurseForge

I have a project on MCreator. I am trying to export for distribution to import into CurseForge as well as to also upload onto the website. If I export for distribution into a jar and then convert to zip file, when I try and import it into forge it fails. I click learn more and it says that I may be missing a manifest.json file. Also, when I have tried to upload it on the website it also fails and the message I get "Invalid file extension, expecting jar, litemod". What am I missing?

I can upload to the website as jar, however, CurseForge itself only takes zip imports...

My mistake. I misunderstood as I thought you could import a MCreator export into CurseForge. You can't you need to submit the jar export to CurseForge and receive the compatible file after acceptance.
