When using a group of exercises such as thigh, quad, hams and I fail to progress on a set of back squats does the entire grouping of exercises change or just the squats from the grouping? I tried the search option with no luck. If this is already answered somewhere I apologize. Thanks in advance!

That would depend upon how you did on the other exercises and the order of them. (Common sense is your rule here.)

If you did both your isolation exercises before the squats, and progressed substantially on each, but ended up with the same weight x reps on squats, that's progress overall.

If nothing progressed and you come back for a 2nd time and still there's no progress, you can switch out one or more exercises of the grouping and/or change the order you do them. This, though is really up to you and be sure to consider that the lack of progress may simply be b/c it's time for your blast to come to an end, you're not eating enough to grow, and/or there is some other reason your'e not recovering, so changing those things could fix the issue before you drop / swap exercises.
