Honored ContributorWhen a board that you are trying to write to has multiple components that Quartus can configure, the order in which the files you are writing matters. To determine the correct order, I auto-detected the hardware in Programmer and then individually replaced the hardware components by adding the file I wished to write, moving it in the hierarchy to the same location as its associated hardware (by using the up arrow in the GUI), and then deleted the auto-detected version.
Quartus will expect the number of devices it auto-detects to match the number of devices you are writing to. Be careful to have these match, even if you are only using a subset of the devices on the board. Quartus will output error messages in the main window if an error is generated from something done in Programmer. I hope this information will be beneficial to other beginners out there, Alex
