The only devices that will show up correctly in your account, are devices purchased directly from T-Mobile. The device it shows has no impact in how your device connects and performs on the T-Mobile network.

That’s not a great excuse for why it can’t do a basic check of the imei to detect the model phone and reflect it correctly on the account.
