Successful install but not bootable

Dear member, I hope you are doing well!

I have recently acquired a Dell Wyse 3040 (8GB) thin client and I was planning to use it as an NDI display at my curch.
I have tried multiple EFI USB boot solutions such as Etcher and YUMI UEFI,
They successfully boot into the live environment and the installer.
The installer installs the OS without any issue, and I have tried more than once to install it.

The issue is that after installation the PC won't boot.
In the BIOS the install shows up as an EFI debian bootable, but it just does not boot.

Now I do understand that I have a very niche thin client that otherwise is used as a VM host, but I see no reason why I couldn't use it with a custom OS.

What can I do to diagnose where the issue is, and is there a way to rebuild the bootloader so I can fix this issue?

Edit: I should add that I have tried to disable fast boot, and safe boot and enable legacy devices but they did not help unfortunately.
