Paste link not working. Post a working link.
Did you look in UEFI for a ubuntu entry and see it that will boot?
But many with Sony have to use work arounds as Sony has modified UEFI to only boot Windows.

One Sony user
The trick was to manually copy the ubuntu Boot directory in place of the \EFI\Boot Directory, and rename shimx64.efi to \EFI\Boot\bootx64.efi (not \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\bootmgfw.efi )
