Hey! 

I'm experiencing this with the latest Terraform release. Try 1.51.0 if you are deploying via TF, downgrading fixed this for me.

I am assuming you are creting this manually and not using terraform .

Is s3://jk-databricks-prods3/unity-catalog/742920957025975 the external storage location for your UC Metastore . Can you check if the storage credential used by this external storage location  is setup correctly . Once you have the external storage location created you can use Test Connection option to validated it works . 

Thank You
