Bazzite not showing in Boot Menu?

Hiya, I am a returning bazzite fan after having tried CachyOS. I have two SSD's in my computer, and CachyOS is currently installed on the main one, Bazzite on the second one. I just yesterday reinstalled Bazzite on the second ssd but it is not showing in the boot priority list - only in boot override list. So while i can boot into Bazzite through the boot menu i am not able to make it the default. I assume this has happened because I used "automatic" partition on the second ssd and the installer saw that there was a bootable ssd on the other one? or something along those lines. How can I make Bazzite appear in the UEFI boot menu and make it my default? When I have successfully migrated over to Bazzite again i plan on using cloneszilla to clone this second SSD onto the main SSD again. Appriciate any help with this!

` I figured it out; I was using leagcy (CSM mode) for my bios settings instead of UEFI. This plus I think the installer saw the bootable ssd i already had (should have looked closed in the installer to prevent this). I ended up reinstalling Bazzite on my main SSD, now with UEFI.
