Hi. I just downloaded The NIK Collection 3 set of filters. My computer is running High Sierra and Affinity Photo is VER 1.83. The meet the requirements.
I followed these instructions. As below...
1. Installation & create plugins
Process Nik Collection by DxO installation
During “Compatible Host” step, click on + to create a custom plugins folder in your preferred directory (use the combination shift+Cmd+n if necessary), then click Open
In the installer, you will see a Adobe Photoshop Custom1 host added to your list
By successively clicking on Continue and Install , a 'DxO' folder will be created in background in the directory you chose............................"NIK Collection" not DxO Folder.
This 'DxO' folder will contain all Nik Collection by DxO plugins
Continue installation until finished and click on Close
2. Launch the application Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)
3. Import Nik Collection plugins into Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)
In the top menu, go to Affinity Photo > Preferences
Select Photoshop Plugins tab
In “Plugin Search Folder” click on Add
In the dialog popup select the “DxO” NIK Collection folder created after installation and press Ok
In “Plugin Support Folder” click on Authorize Global and Authorize without selecting anything
In “Detected Plugins” check the checkbox to “Allow “Unknown” plugins to be used”
Close the “Preferences” via the Close button
Select Restart Now
If opened after restart, close the “Preferences” popup
4. Import your image to Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)
5. Launch Nik Collection by DxO plugins via Affinity Photo 1.8 (or higher)
Go to Filters > Plugins > Nik Collection > “Plugin Name”
Thru the process "NIK Collection" folder was created instead of a "DxO" Folder. Other than that the instructions were exactly the same as above.

I have made a few attempts at this yet there remains no selectable items when i check the Filters> PlugIns > Nik Collection.
