Which file should Ubuntu use to boot?

Recently I had my motherboard replaced by a Dell technician. I was dual booting Windows 10 and Ubuntu prior to the replacement, however since the replacement it no longer boots Ubuntu (as I've lost my BIOS settings).
In the UEFI boot manager I can choose a file to boot from, however I'm unsure which one I choose, I assume I am meant to use the entire folder containing these files but unfortunately that isn't an option.
Are any of these files used to boot Ubuntu:
- fwupx64.efi
- grubx64.efi
- grub.cfg
- shimx64.efi
- mmx64.efi
- BOOTX64.CSV
I've tried grubx64.efi, however it doesn't seem to be working.

If you have access to a usb drive and another computer, you could try using the usb drive as a Ubuntu Live USB and reinstall grub through it. That should work if there is not problem with your hard drive itself

Will all the data stored within Ubuntu be wiped?

No, it will just reinstall grub on the system which will write the boot sector in your hdd with the correct entries. Please tell me if this works
