UEFI is everything before the grub2 menu, essentially.

I tried booting into ubuntu & running the grub-mkconfig, hoping it would
update the grub.cfg, but it still didn't show the latest fedora kernel
when I booted..

Ubuntu and Fedora keep their kernels on different filesystems. In each OS, grub2-mkconfig will locate only their own kernels, and update only the cfg file for their own installation of grubx64.efi.

You don't need to use grub2-install on UEFI systems (and rarely on
BIOS systems either).  It would normally build a custom grubx64.efi,
but doing so would break under Secure Boot.
I think I have secure boot turned off..

Doesn't matter, really.  Don't use grub2-install on UEFI systems. :)

this shows that the default is ubuntu. all I want is to update this &
make the newest fedora kernel the default.
You could:
# efibootmbr -o 0002,0004,0003,0000,0001
you meant efibootmgr, right?

Yep.

my fedora is 0009 and 000C, but I get the idea.. and I TRIED THAT AND...
NADA

No, it isn't.  Your output lists:

Boot0002* Fedora
HD(8,GPT,ac2fc695-5de9-47d0-a19b-01e236404130,0x5ae5d800,0x2f800)/File(\EFI\fedora\shim.efi)

That boot entry identifies a filesystem (sda8) where \EFI\fedora\shim.efi is a bootloader.

Boot entries 9 and C are generic entries that will load an EFI bootloader from the default path on partitions 8 and 1.
