You can use ~sitecollection instead of ~Site

<SharePoint:CssRegistration name="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/awesome.css %>" runat="server"  />

For html master page, it will be:

<!--SPM:<SharePoint:CssRegistration name="<% $SPUrl:~sitecollection/Style Library/awesome.css %>" runat="server"  />-->

@Plexus81 I think your problem is "After="SharepointCssFile".

It should work. I have used it in several projects. above code I just copy/paste. Check everything properly @Plexus81

@Plexus81 it could as well be a missing space and the end of .css "~Site/Style Library/awesome.css%>" But Atish answer about changing from site to sitecollection is the correct way to have it working for root sites as well as "Sub" site collections.

@Plexus81 Of course you can, but should it not refer to a actual .CSS file? :) sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/74508/…
