Why are there creases in the smoothing shader?
Here is the model if you can figure out what’s wrong with it.

Hi,
Have you tried to use Auto Smooth along with Weighted Normal modifier?

You may research about: hard surface modeling… → support loops/edges…
…or just have a look on wiki.polycount Subdivision_Surface_Modeling…
I can’t access OneDrive in my current location, but, it looks like you’ve got an N-gon in there, where you beveled that corner. Faces like that, with other edge/supporting loops so close tend to create this shading problem.
If you spread out the surrounding edge loops a bit, then add an edge loop to change that N-gon into a quad, does that help?

I fixed some of the edge loops that were causing some of the major problems, make sure to select Auto-Smooth…
Also, the Normal map doesn’t add anything to this as it is just blank, there is no reason to even add it …so took the roughness and added it as a bump map…
Specular was bumped all the way and that along with Clear-coat will emphasize bad geometry / artifacts…
Using the bump, you can blend out most of them and still use the clear coat… including an invert node if you want more gloss or 1/2 n 1/2…
