Morphology
The phrase is compositionally built from 'finding' (a decision or result) + 'of fact' (concerning facts), so its basic sense — a determination concerning the facts — is inferable from the parts. However, 'finding of fact' is a technical legal term and uses 'finding' in a specialized judicial sense that many B1 learners may not know, so it is only partially transparent without exposure.
Etymology
Finding of fact: The noun finding of fact comes from a simple courtroom picture: the judge or jury finds what really happened and names a clear fact from the evidence. So a finding of fact is the court's 'decision about the facts' that is used to decide the case.
