Yes you can crack your knuckles.
There’s no prohibition regarding that.
And the “hadeeth” that mentions is that is *NOT authentic.
However the scholars say that it is makrooh (disliked) to crack knuckles while you’re praying it during the Friday Khutbah.
That’s because it is distracting and will make you lose concentration.
Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen said:
“Cracking the knuckles does not invalidate the prayer, but cracking the knuckles is a kind of fidgeting, and if that is during a congregational prayer, it will inevitably disturb those who hear it, and that is more bothersome than if there is no one around him.”
(Fataawa Arkaan al-Islam p. 341)
And Allaah knows best
