I figured out that no matter what you put into /etc/grub.d/40_custom, 
it will never show up in the grub2 menu, even though it does show up 
in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg. Yes, I have made sure to run restorecon on 
40_custom after editing and that the permissions remain the same as 
the other files.

The solution:

create a file called /boot/grub2/custom.cfg and put your custom menu 
items in that. This file is automatically read by grub2, thanks to 
/etc/grub.d/41_custom, which causes custom.cfg to be read.

This works!
