\EFI\BOOT\BOOTX64.EFI is a fallback bootloader in case NVRAM gets
corrupted or wiped. In a Fedora only installation it's the same thing
as shim.efi, which also has code to create a new NVRAM entry for
itself and set the BootOrder. With a Windows installation already
present, I don't know if BOOTX64.EFI is the Windows bootloader, and I
don't know if Fedora overwrites it. You can use sha1sum on each
OSLoader to find out what matches up with BOOTX64.EFI.

You have superfluous boot entries. That's why your F12 firmware boot
manager lists extras. Boot0002 and Boot0005 look identical, if so,
delete one of them with e.g. 'efibootmgr -B -b 0005'
