I just want an SSL cert itself that I can sign my winforms clickonce application with. I am not sure exactly what avenue to go to in order to get that. Any help would be appreciated.
Let's Encrypt does not offer code signing certificates, only domain validated (DV) certs.

@tchianelli Note also that code signing is harder now than it used to be as the working group that specifies how it should work (the CA Browser Forum) have mandated secure physical key storage, e.g. hardware security modules etc.
My suggestion would be to simply not sign unless you absolutely need to and instead provide your users a cryptographic hash of your installer to (optionally) verify.
There are cloud services from Azure etc: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/pricing/details/trusted-signing/
