Huawei Y6 2017 screen smashed, need to get data from internal memory

My Huawei Y6 2017 screen shattered yesterday and it's completely impossible to use. There is still power in it and I am hearing notifications coming through. I have some notes, photos and phone numbers on there that I really need to see.

I have tried several pieces of software that claim to be able to access the phones internal memory, but none of them actually work. I tried the DrPhone program, but it's broken phone section seems to only support Samsung. When I plug the phone into my laptop via USB, it connects, but of course I have no way of allowing debugging on the phone now.

My information was not backed up on my Google account etc (even though a couple of unneeded recent photos curiously are), nor were my contacts saved to the sim, everything is in the internal memory. I already realize this isn't ideal, but it's where I'm at all the same.

Surely there's a way of accessing the phone's memory?
