Quartus 18.1 not programming .pof file. .sof file works fine. Says it passes if I don't enable real-time ISP but it doesn't work. Fails if I enable real time ISP.

So I got it to work by adding 10k pullups to the NSTATUS, CONF_DONE, and NCONFIG pins. Are these actually needed or is there any way around this? I figured out that the program was actually loaded into the FPGA but it just wasn't configuring on power up without these pullups. After I added them the board configured even though I didn't attempt to reprogram it.
