You don't want to be doing any kind of grub(2)-install if you actually
have a native UEFI install. That's not how UEFI booting works. But it's
difficult to divine from your emails how your system is actually set up
at all.

Can you please answer the following?

1. What is the output of 'efibootmgr -v'?
2. Do you have a /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg ?
3. Do you have a /boot/grub/grub.conf ?
4. Do you have a /boot/grub2/grub.cfg ?

For a 'yes' answer to 2, 3 or 4 it would be nice to have the contents
visible somewhere.
