/etc/grub2.cfg should be a symlink to /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
You should really add your custom menuentry to /etc/grub.d/40_custom (careful, you have typo in your "menuentry" keyword). Then you should run:
# grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
and it should appear in /boot/grub2/grub.cfg.
It works in my case.

Edit /etc/default/grub first.
