[Solved]Total Noob looking for guidance on Grub-install

Hello I have played around in Garuda for quite bit and have looked at the idea of building my own fresh off install.

So I have made it all the way to this point and I'm receiving a few errors now that I can't seem to figure out.

Error: grub-install error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: no such file or directory.

So i tried efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sda --part 1 --label "Arch Linux" --loader /vmlinuz-linux --unicode 'root=block_device_identifier rw initrd=\initramfs-linux.img'

which is where my EFI is. Still same error. I will provide my entire step-by-step to see if maybe my boot is wrong?

mkfs.fat -F32 /dev/sda1
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda2
mkswap /dev/sda2
mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot --bootloader-id=GRUB

Edit: Solved myself after extensive research. Thank you. Part of the problem here was virtual machine environment I was using for testing before the real deal.

I solved it myself so I removed some clutter from the message and reposted. Otherwise it was a very clear and concise topic thank you.
