Scripture defines the role of a faithful witness from a false witness.
The guideline for man in witnessing is here:
John 5:31 If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
John 7:18 He that speaketh of himself seeketh his own glory: but he that seeketh his glory that sent him, the same is true, and no unrighteousness is in him.
Proverbs 25:27 It is not good to eat much honey: so for men to search their own glory is not glory.
To speak of yourself in seeking your own glory is unrighteousness.
Now look at what scripture says how the Holy Spirit will witness.
John 16:13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me:
So how can believers be led by the Spirit of God to say anything that the Spirit of truth would not lead them to say in worship of the Son?
How can believers be led by the Spirit of truth to worship the Holy Spirit when the Holy Spirit would not lead them to do that in worship?

And if you think God the Father is "Spirit" and does not have an image that can be seen, then you better read these scriptural reproofs.

So don't go taking "God is a Spirit" as validating worshipping the Holy Spirit with the Father & the Son because it is not supported by scripture at all.
The Holy Spirit as a Witness cannot lead a believer to speak of the Holy Spirit in seeking the glory of the Holy Spirit for that would mean there is unrighteousness in God.... and we know there is no unrighteouness in God.
Yes, the Holy Spirit is God, but scripture SPECIFICALLY told us how to come to God the Father in worship of Him and that is by honouring & glorifying the Son. There is no other way because that is what the Holy Spirit is actually leading believers to do in worship of God the Father by way of the Son that the Spirit would exclude Himself from that worship.
