i suggest you to try like
$string = '2018-09-09 16:34:00';
$date = Carbon::createFromFormat('Y-m-d H:i:s', $string, 'US/..');
$date->setTimezone('UTC');

How to create from format with timezone using carbon?
I have a string
$string = "180711000000GMT+0800"
// try to convert it
Carbon::createFromFormat('YmdHisTO', $string)->format...
It shows me this error.
Unexpected data found.
The timezone could not be found in the database
Data missing
How can i convert the datetime if there's GMT+0800 behind of the string?

I don't know if there is support for createFromFormat with a timezone offset, but you could split the string:
preg_match('/^(\d{12})(\w+\+\d{4})$/', $string, $matches);
[,$datetime, $tzOffset] = $matches;
Carbon::createFromFormat('ymdHis', $datetime, $tzOffset)->format...
