keda-operator error creating kafka client: kafka: client has run out of available brokers to talk to: EOF , keda-operator failed to ensure HPA is correctly created for ScaledObject

i have this yaml file :

apiVersion: v1

  sasl: "cGxhaW50ZXh0"
  username: "V1VDM0ZZUFVZWUdQWVE3Rw=="

  tls: "ZW5hYmxl"

which when i apply through kubectl works perfectly , it creates the scaled object and everything,
when i try to create the scaled object through code, it returns the error above in the title,
im assuming that it is a problem with the username or password or how i handle them , here

private String encodeStringBase64(String text){
        byte[] encodedValue = Base64.getEncoder().encode(text.getBytes());
        return new String(encodedValue);
    }
    public void createKafkaSecret(KafkaRequest request, String projectId){
        try{


            String sasl = encodeStringBase64("plaintext");
            String username = encodeStringBase64(request.getUsername());
            String password = encodeStringBase64(request.getPassword());
            String tls = encodeStringBase64("enable");

            Secret kafkaSecret = new SecretBuilder()
                    .withNewMetadata()
                    .withName(projectId + "-kafka-secret")
                    .endMetadata()
                    .addToData("sasl",sasl)
                    .addToData("username",username)
                    .addToData("password",password)
                    .addToData("tls",tls)
                    .build();
                    ```
