MODERATORS
You cannot use Find My with non Apple devices. The feature is tightly linked to the physical device it’s activated on, all of which are stored server side at Apple. Which is why things like iCloud Activation cannot be bypassed.
The best you can do is an alternative service that won’t be anywhere near as clean and reliable.
