Have you tried creating an external table on top of the existing parquet data? Views are built on top of existing tables registered in the metastore (not directly on files).

You would use the External table functionality by using LOCATION in your query (https://docs.databricks.com/data-governance/unity-catalog/create-tables.html#create-an-external-table)

Keep in mind that the path specified should be to a directory, not a specific parquet file.
