Where are you getting to in the boot process?  Are you getting to the
UEFI shell?  If you are typing `exit` at the shell will drop you into
the firmware menu and you can either change the boot order or
specifically select a bootable from there.

If you are at the shell and don't want to work through the menu you can
always take a look and see if there is an FS0: present, if so the shell
acts like random pieces taken from dos shell and a *nix shell, drive
letters matter (so `fs0:` will change your drive), and `cd` and `ls`
work.  If you can get into the drive you can likely find the .efi
executable for the distro, bootx64.efi, and grubx64.efi are the typical
common ones.
