I have a feeling that it isn't appearing due to a missing dependency. Did you install the minimal/architect version, or the full blown standard Gnome version of Manjaro? One thing you could try doing is build the applet from source: https://github.com/caffeine-ng/caffeine-ng

It says caffeine is already running but it's not in my top bar. Here's a screenshot. command found on the github for it. Even though I've added it to my startup applications (through tweaks) it doesn't show up and nothing launches. A manual install results in the same result.
