Greetings,
I wanted to know if the first partition has to be FAT32 and should be mounted at /efi . Gentoo and Arch tell us to always have first partition of type FAT32 however they mount it in different location. I am confused can anyone elaborate please?

Yes it must be fat32. I see nothing about it needing to be the first partition. And it documents several mount options.
My understanding is that the mount point mainly depends on the bootloader you choose when setting things up, or updating kernels. It doesn’t matter at boot time.
