The newly added printer doesn't have a platform (The sleek dragon) and it should be re-added to it, either by leveraging existing model or making a better-fitting one (Current model v2 is 235 x 235mm and V3 SE is 220x220x250mm).

All you have to do is add this to the meta data:

{
 "metadata": {
   "platform": "creality_ender3.3mf"
  }
}

Thanks for the report.
I see you commented on the pull request page.

The definition files for non-UltiMaker printers come from members of the community or from the manufacturer. If you don't happen to own one of those printers there would be no way to know that other models have a dragon platform.

Creality tends to put 235 x 235 build plates on a lot of printers and then they make the "Printable Area" (which isn't the same thing) at 220 x 220 and Cura only shows the Printable Area.
I'll remove the bug label from this and change it to a feature request as that definition file is lacking the callout for a platform and the platform does already exists.
Platforms are model files. You can make your own platform or resize the stock Creality platform in a program like MS 3D Builder.
My 3 Pro platform is a model of my actual printer except for the filament spool (which made it too tall).
