So should I just not export the "external signals"? Pic of the epcs module in Qsys is attached to show what I"m talking about. If I do export those I'll have to do what you said and find the pins.

I don't use the Altera IP, so normally I assign the pins explicitly. Go ahead and try not exporting the pins and see if the tool assigns the pins directly. You can have a look at the .pin file or Pin Planner after place-and-route, or look at the RTL Netlist viewer, and you'll be able to tell if your EPCS controller connects to the pins correctly.
