With the New Jira Issue View, Atlassian is redesigning the way add-ons are displayed with the issues. Here are some tips for you to easily find and use Smart Checklist add-on with your Jira Issues in the new view.
What the new UI looks like
The add-on position on the new issue view can have the following variants:

From a board, choose ••• > Open issues in sidebar to set your preference for all scrum and Kanban boards (you can switch back at any time). "
