Had you signed into YouTube Studio web version with that account before? YouTube Studio works per channel and does not allow the creation of the channel. So if the accounts you signed in don't have a channel, they won't be shown as sign-in option. Make sure you have a channel created before trying to use YouTube Studio.

I think that might be it, I needed to have the channel created already before trying to log into YouTube Studio.
I created a channel through YouTube Web with the same email account and when I came back to the phone it showed up with my channel name and could log into it.
I hope it helps someone that’s having the same issue as the app doesn’t give you any information about that.
Thanks!
