HTTP Status 415 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status/415> means 
that you're using wrong HTTP request method 
<https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Methods>, i.e. GET 
instead of POST or something like this.

Given your test works in Postman you can record it using JMeter's 
HTTP(S) Test Script Recorder, at least this way there will be no mess 
with methods, parameters, etc. If you're uploading a file make sure to 
copy the file to "bin" folder of your JMeter installation prior to 
upload. See How to Convert Your Postman API Tests to JMeter for Scaling 
<https://www.blazemeter.com/blog/convert-postman-api-tests> for more 
information.

You might need to correlate 
<https://jmeter.apache.org/usermanual/jmeter_proxy_step_by_step.html#correlate-start> 
any dynamic parameters as well.
