I just downloaded the nano-CD-ROM version 1.3.7 and I looked into qsf file ....
Looks like last quartus version used is 16.0.2 not the 15.1. There might be chance you were using original quartus verison which can be used by tersasic to create the project.
Can you use the 16.0.2 ?
Here is another question i got , what is the size of rbf compare to package came with builded rbf ?
Thank you ,

I compiled 1.3.7 Demonstrations\FPGA\Default\DE10_Nano_Default.qpf in Quartus 16.1 and converted the SOF to RBF trying different formats. The file sizes I got:
7,007,204 1-bit-passive-serial.rbf
7,007,184 passive-parallel-async.rbf
7,007,184 passive-parallel-sync.rbf
7,007,204 passive-parallel-x16.rbf
7,007,204 passive-parallel-x8.rbf
The original de10-nano.rbf which comes on DE10-nano SD card is only 3,368,700 bytes.
The CD contains several RBFs in projects other than Default but none of them matches the size of de10-nano.rbf:
