Thank you so much.
:unsure: Are you sure that is what you want?
The column B validation will allow any combination of letters and numbers of 6 characters (eg "ABCDEF", "12b4a6") not only
3x ALPHABET & 3x NUMERICALS
Assuming the 3 letters must come first (& be upper case) followed by 3 digits, you could try this as your B2 validation formula.

Excel Formula:
=AND(LEN(B2)=6,FIND(MID(B2,SEQUENCE(3),1),"ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"),FIND(MID(B2,SEQUENCE(3,,4),1),"0123456789"))
