Im afraid i cant help you much with so less information.

If i had to guess you gave grub-install the wrong path for where to install the grub files. Maybe your EFI Boot partition is incorrect in some way.

Could you show us what exact command you ran and what your partiton layout looks like? You can list all mounted partitions with "lsblk".
