BIOS Won't boot into GRUB after install

Hello everyone, I'm fairly new to Arch and Linux but after getting comfortable with some distros I followed the wiki and managed to get it installed. However, my main issue is that I can't boot into grub at all. I'm doing a fresh install on my SSD with nothing else on it after install it boots straight into my BIOS I saw someone who had a similar issue and fixed it by adding the EFI as trusted in their BIOS through secure boot and then turning it off, tried that and it didn't work. However, I did manage and can boot into it via the Manjaro installer! as it can detect other EFI bootloaders so I managed to launch into Arch although it still doesn't launch through my BIOS. I was wondering if there is a way I can fix it from here? Also, I installed it in UEFI mode.

Here is the output of efibootmgr -v

Re: BIOS Won't boot into GRUB after install

What's your mainboard? Depending on the implementation you might have to install GRUB in removable mode:  https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GR … allation_2 (note the green tip box)
