Your log shows this is an upgrade of shim-signed, from version 1.33.1+13-0ubuntu2 to 1.34.9+13-0ubuntu2, so you have previously had this package successfully installed; but the error in your logs is:

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
grub-install: error: cannot find EFI directory.
ESC[1mdpkg:ESC[0m error processing package shim-signed (--configure):
 installed shim-signed package post-installation script subprocess returned error exit status 1

This shows that you have no EFI System Partition mounted at /boot/efi. Why is this?

The BootEFIContents attachment also shows that you have a fully populated /boot/efi/EFI/ubuntu directory; but if this is not actually an EFI System Partition, it will not be visible to the firmware.

You do have a /dev/sda1 partition mounted at /boot. What filesystem is on this partition?
