See the following from Two-factor authentication for Apple ID - Apple Support
When you sign in on a new device, you’ll get a notification on your other trusted devices that includes a map showing the approximate location of the new device. This is an approximate location based on the IP address the device is currently using, rather than the exact location of the device. The location shown might reflect the network you're connected to, and not your physical location.
If you know you’re the person trying to sign in but you don’t recognize the location shown, you can still tap Allow and continue signing in. However, if you ever see a notification that your Apple ID is being used to sign in on a new device and you're not the one signing in, tap Don’t Allow to block the sign in attempt.

So what do you mean by the up address that the i Mac iss using we should be on the same network on wifi I’m using Hughes sat internet and I’m in Los Angeles california would the Hughes ip the up your talking about?
It would be your internet service provider. If the message with the wrong location is appearing at a time when you know that it is you that is signing in, it does not indicate a problem. See the last paragraph of my previous reply.
