Yes, the other filesystem is of my HDD
Did you create the /.snapshots as described above?
It looks like you did not from the screenshots.
Can you take a manual root snapper snapshot now? You can do that in the Snapper tab.
Yes, I was able to take a manual root snapshot.
Extremely sorry for replying late.
Hoping things turn out fine on next reboot(will be doing in a couple of hours)

EFI looks like a windows sized EFI, and probably too small.
I am guessing this was your EOS EFI partition. Is it possible you switched the EFI partition in your troubleshooting somewhere?
100MB is not big enough.
Yes.
I am not sure what I did. Yes, 100MB is not enough.
What should be done now 
@dalto gentle ping
First, mount /dev/nvme0n1p5 and see if it is an EFI partition for EOS.
If it is, it will have a directory in it with a big string of characters and a loader directory.
Can you also share the contents of /etc/fstab
Okay, seeing the /etc/fstab I remember what I did. I just repeated the process correctly this time.
/etc/fstab file was using other UUID so I updated it the right value from blkid /dev/nvme0n1p5
reloaded systemctl daemon
did reinstall-kernels and there were no errors

If you have a turing or newer GPU you should switch to nvidia-open.
