I have an image that I shot on a panel, the panel has a grid on it

Is there a (hopefully easy) way to align the grid from the image to the photoshop grid

For deformed or rotated images, you could use Edit > Transform > Distort or Edit > Transform > Rotate. You can also use modifier keys with Edit > Free Transform to distort (Ctrl on Windows, Command on macOS) and move your cursor along the edge/corner until it changes to a double-sided, bent arrow to indicate that you can rotate it.

With the layer selected in the Layers panel, choose Edit > Free Transform, then drag a corner handle to resize the layer until the grid matches up. To resize from the layer center, hold down the Alt key. If it is not already resizing proportionally, also hold down the Shift key.

Yes but normally the images come in different rotations and some are even deformed, so normal scaling doesnt work for me
