SuperGrub2 2.04s1 finds the system and boots it but it is read only.?? Knoppix reads and writes to the system with no problem. Used Knoppix to fix /etc/fstab and grub.cfg. I think grub-install is needed from fedora but have to be able to write to the drive.

You need to provide more details.  What do you mean it's read only? And grub-install write to the raw hard drive, not to a filesystem.  A Fedora live boot or a net install rescue boot is a good way to fix things.
_______________________________________________
Any attempt to write to the system gets a message that the file system is read only.  grub2-install /dev/sda fails trying writes to
/boot/grub2/i386-pc. ls -l gives a list that looks completely normal with the expected permissions owners and groups.

Oh, right, it wants to set up the modules too.
What does "mount" show?  Try running "mount -o rw,remount /".  Or use "/boot" instead if you have a separate partition for it.

The simplest method though is still to download a Fedora net install image and use the rescue mode.  It sets everything up for you to chroot to the installed system and run whatever you want. Just be aware that it will do a full relabel on reboot.  If you're sure you didn't change anything important, you can remove the /.autorelabel file before rebooting.

Apparently there is a hardware problem with the Samsung EVO SSD drives rumor of a rom fix but haven't found it.  Totally strange that NTFS partitions on the drive are writeable.
