Have you tried booting the live image? I've just written that to an USB
stick and it shows up as both a 'legacy boot' and a UEFI boot device in
the boot menu of my computer (I'm using 'legacy boot' because it can
boot the system and that's good enough for me). This is also consistent
with the fdisk output:

[rw@doppelsaurus]~#sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdc
Disk /dev/sdc: 14.46 GiB, 15525216256 bytes, 30322688 sectors

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

/dev/sdc2         556    3435    2880  1.4M ef EFI (FAT-12/16/32)


and the output of file (the command) when used with the downloaded image
file.
