The menu name and location are not universal, so use the path that appears on your phone rather than assuming one applies to every Xiaomi model.

Try lock-screen editing on HyperOS

Xiaomi’s HyperOS overview describes lock-screen options for clock and signature changes, colors, filters, and styles. These features are not guaranteed across all HyperOS phones: Xiaomi says the available layout and features may differ by system version and model. See its HyperOS overview, published December 31, 2023, as an overview rather than a device-by-device feature list.
