/boot/grub/grub.cfg act like not being used by GRUB 2:2

TL;DR
Hi, Yesterday I shrinked the main partition of my arch installation to have space to install windows 10.After windows installation I chrooted, reinstalled grub and linux package, generated grub cfg and I thought grub was working fine, but today I wanted to setup  a grub theme and unexpectly /boot/grub/grub.cfg is generating fine but I didnt see any result in boot menu IE. I changed timeout to 9 seconds for testing purpose and in bootmenu i still had timer counting from 5. Below is a link to my journalctl -b logfile and some specification

reinstalling the grub package doesn't reinstall grub to the bootsector, which is where the path to the config is hardcoded. See the grub wiki page for reinstalling grub.
