Oh, is it a new model? I don't recall an SE version. I wonder if Altera has tested programming a quad spi chip for that series.
What you've tried should have worked. I've been able to program the quad SPI on my SoCKit board using the instructions in the SoCKit user manual. It is a 256K chip.
Most projects use HPS to program the FPGA. Have you checked power supplies and clocks? These can prevent configuration. Is the HPS side working?

I chose the FPFA part number about 12 months ago.
The power supplies are all ok.
I can't readily probe the DCLK clock under the flash chip BGA. It should be 12.5MHz, generated by the internal clock oscillator. (Is that the only clock you were referring to?)
I suspect an incompatibility bug between the Micron QSPI chip and the Quartus software. In which case I might eventually have to write my own programmer software.
That could take a very long time, so I will park this problem for now, and try a different technique, which is to write HPS code and try and configure the FPGA from the HPS. The HPS can boot from an SD card.
Altera have a financial interest in selling their own QSPI chips, so I can't imagine they will rush to support the Micron parts, which sell for about a tenth the cost.
If I find an actual solution I will post the results here.
