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.
