moving my efi partition to another drive

so i installed a second version of artix and that is all setup.  i then made a new partition on a new drive for the efi partition i wish to use with the first version of artix as my second install is using the other efi.  I want them both to have their own efi partition.  yah yah yah.  that's what i want please and thank you.  so after mounting the new partition and the other things according to chrooting i now want to install grub into the new efi partition  (fstab was changed already too with the new uuid) so i did this to install that

grub-install --target=x86_64-efi --efi-directory=/boot/efi --bootloader-id=grub

and then i got this output

Installing for x86_64-efi platform.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
EFI variables are not supported on this system.
grub-install: error: efibootmgr failed to register the boot entry: No such file or directory.

so what do i need to do differently?  i mounted my efi partition on

mount /dev/sda4 /mnt/boot/efi

it's 500mb and fat32 and marked as bootable.
