PRC is a signatory to UNCLOS.
PRC actions in SCS is not legally against UNCLOS. Reality is, everything PRC does currently in SCS is legally grey area until UNCLOS/ITLOS/UN actually rule against it in official capacity. PCA ruling is essentially a term paper on official looking letterhead drafted by anti PRC lawfare, pretending to be international law. It's one (strong) legal interpretation, but it's not settled case under UNCLOS - UN (which UNCLOS law operates under) does not recognize or comment on PCA ruling.
