Add MacBook Pro to find my but from iPhone device

Hi

i really hope someone can help me. we’ve recently moved house and my MacBook Pro has gone missing. I am desperate to find it. For some reason it’s not been added to my devices. I need to try add it. The issue is that it was my only MacBook device. Other than that I just have iPhone and iPad. I’ve tried to see if I can add it via my iPhone find my app but it refers me to the instructions by the manufacturer. Please is there anyway other way I can add my beloved MacBook so I can try to find it
