Find My has no any exposed Applescript commands. You'd next need to try (I think, been >a decade) Accessibility Inspector to find the names of the interface so you can tell Applescript what to click on. On some apps, even this doesn't work.
I also suspect Find My is a Catalyst-ported iPadOS app, which tend to be awful/useless for scripting.

I am cursed with a lot of experience doing just this. However, I will say that every year it's getting harder and harder to do. The new security/accessibility changes in Sequoia have made things even more of a nightmare.
