Help text is very useful indeed, but it's difficult to understand which icon is meant at the beginning, because there are 3 icons to be specified. My guess is it's the "PeriodicScript" (the third) icon.
Also, here are some corrections/improvements I can suggest for the text - changes are in bold:
The icon will be set every time a command returns an output containing the following pattern:
{PlasmoidIconStart}/home/path/to/icon.png{PlasmoidIconEnd}
Accepted icon values are full paths (not relative paths) or icon names (plasma).
To change the tooltip, the process is the same:
{PlasmoidTooltipStart}this is the new tooltip!{PlasmoidTooltipEnd}
NOTE: After changing the preferences, if they don't apply immediately, just restart your session or run plasmashell --replace in a terminal (or, better, in Krunner) without logging out.
