( 8/10) Checking for .pacnew and .pacsave files…
.pac* files found:
/etc/default/grub.pacnew
/etc/default/grub-btrfs/config.pacnew
Any possibility changes to grub & grub-btrfs/config could be an issue?

I’m really sorry guys, that was my fault.
This past week I have been using a live Garuda session to repair grub in two simultaneously installed Debian system that have two different kernels and kept overwriting each others grub. When you are chrooted into a system you use whatever the native command is, so I have been running apt reinstall grub-efi-amd64 and somehow it must have gotten stuck in my head.
My comment above had a few steps listed out, including that command. I quickly realized the mistake I had made and deleted the whole piece out of the comment, but waduhektemp must have already spotted the note and ran with it.
@waduhektemp, I’m sorry about that–my mistake. 
I am thinking this might be a red herring. In the original post, waduhektemp mentioned they had written out the error message manually (instead of copy/paste); it is possible the mysterious carrot symbol is a simple typo.
One thing I did spot is in one of the pastebin outputs above (the one where grub is successfully installed), update-grub is added to the end of the grub-install command.
I’m guessing the whole chunk was copied out of this command box as one piece:
This should be two commands. So:
grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=garuda --recheck
After that command finishes, then run as a separate command:
update-grub
The way it was run together, I do not think it took the update-grub and so the grub configs weren’t correctly modified.

That fixed the issue thanks everyone for the support you guys have been incredibly helpful. @BluishHumility no worries it didn't cause any issues.
I'm gonna have to look into ways of lessening the chance of this happening again in the future.
I did copy the very final log

Glad to hear you got things fixed up.
Try to mark an individual post that is closest to your final solution.
