The path to the bootloader lives in UEFI NVRAM. You'd need to add it
with efibootmgr. If you're not already familiar with that tool, it's a
lot easier to simply reinstall and put /boot and /boot/efi where you
want them at that point.
If you still have the install log files in /var/log/anaconda, you can do
a search for efibootmgr to see the command used to setup the boot entry.
You can modifiy it as necessary and run it on the new computer.
