With f-strings you have to specify the format in a different way:

print(f"PearsonR Corr Coefficient {pearsonr_coefficient:0.3f}")

Refer to this guide if you have more doubts.

Try this:

pearsonr_coefficient = 1.0545
print(f"PearsonR Corr Coefficient {pearsonr_coefficient:0.3f}")
# PearsonR Corr Coefficient 1.054

The trick is here : :0.3f Please check the python documentation with examples
