Hi!
I too have a Huwaeii, but a Mate 20 Pro, so quite similar.
I can't get Maps Timeline to connect with the phone with a secondary account. No matter what I do, it only displays this phone on the primary account.
I've disabled Location History, and logged out from Maps with the primary account, and then logged on with the secondary account, and activated Location History with it.
Still no reference to this device in the device list. I can see my previous devices there, so I have disabled them.
I've cleared data and cache from Maps, but every time I afterwards start Maps it reconnects with my primary account first.
So, then I immediately log it out and back in with my secondary account.
I go to Location Sharing, or Settings/Location History and it tells me to activate the feature, which I do. Still not listing this device in Location History settings.
I really want to use Location History on my secondary account, or both, but not only on the primary account, since that is my work account, and not connected to my Local Guide account. Also, I'd prefer to save the data on my private account.

I found I had my phone in twice in 'Other devices on this account' but it was switched off. I just put it back on and it started working again. It seems it started when I cleared the cache on my phone so it must have thought I was using a different device although it called it the same name! It created a duplicate but never turned on the location history for the duplicate.
Also make sure your correct Google account appears and that 'Use Location History' is turned on.
Hope this helps
