Was able to manually install grub using the following command.
$ sudo grub-install /dev/nvme1n1
$ sudo grub-install /dev/nvme0n1

Is there a command I can run to determine why it picked the above device path?

 $ ll /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.0025385a71b1a709
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Mar 14 14:58 /dev/disk/by-id/nvme-eui.0025385a71b1a709 -> ../../nvme1n1

It looks like that path should have worked anyways...
