This means that either /boot/efi/ isn't mounted after you reboot (check
/etc/fstab) or your system isn't using EFI, but is using BIOS/MBR boot.

EFI needs /boot/efi/, and it needs to be FAT, not ext4 or xfs, so if
your system boots using EFI, there's a (usually +- 200MB) FAT partition
somewhere on a disk, with some data.

BIOS/MBR doesn't needs that.  Some EFI can boot in a legacy mode.


If you manually create /boot/efi/EFI/fedora/grub.cfg you likely created
a file on /boot, which is likely ext4, which the EFI bios won't load. 
Look for a FAT partition and mount that under /boot/efi/.  *Then* look
at grub.cfg.

(there need to be a few other files in /boot/efi/ too)
