To be super clear when I add a new social link with @oneManDev on Facebook it automatically gets rid of the @ sign so when the user clicks on the link it redirects to https://youtube.com/oneManDev instead of https://youtube.com/@oneManDev which leads to Page not found error.

I found a way to crack this. Add a "+" sign before the handle you enter in the Username field when editing the Youtube social link of your Facebook business page, e.g.:
+@utifulapp
:)

I found that the trick above from PavelAtanassov about adding a "+" sign before the @handlename also worked for me, i.e., like so "+@handlename". Feb 25 at 18:14
I just tried to add your youtube URL to my profile, and it worked fine. I was using a browser on my laptop, so maybe the issue is if you tried to do it using the phone app maybe?

No I used the web version of Facebook. Custom URLs work fine but newer YouTube handles don't seem to work on Facebook. Since Facebook redirects you to youtube.com/channelUrl which should be youtube.com/@channelUrl youtube just made it so you can't get Custom URLs anymore unfortuantely. Nov 7, 2022 at 5:51
The + sign worked for me, but only when editing from a mobile device. It doesn't work from a PC browser for some reason.
