You need a Programmer Object File (.pof) to program a MAX V part. SRAM Object Files (.sof) are for direct programming of volatile FPGAs.

Quartus Prime Lite should generate this by default. If it's not you need to scan the error/warning messages in Quartus as to why it hasn't generated it. Make sure you search your entire project folder structure for a .pof file in case it's not put it where you expect.
