Unfortunately the USB port that the AUKEY PB-Y-3 will only output 12V when there is a compatible Quickcharge 3.0 device on the other end. There is a negotiation stage. If you skip that, then the port only outputs legacy power, only 5V.

A hack you can do is get a Quickcharge 3.0 trigger. It’s a small USB device that looks like a usb tester, that you plug in between the powerbank and the device you want to get 12V.

Unfortunately the one i use is not made anymore, but this one is a cheap trigger only device:
