Pain is almost gone...but now...
I have been chasing knee pain and foot hot-spots for a while. Been through doctors appointments and PT, got new shoes, and things are much better.
But....on my new shoes, I have my cleats a bit further back than they were on the old (poorly fitting) shoes. My right leg is having pain on my inner quad and I'm feeling a hotspot on the outside of my right foot, behind the cleat.
What adjustments should be made?

You should adjust ur attitude and HTFU...
On another note, I've never had inner quad pain, just hamstring, knee pain and hot spots. Knee pain was cause of the cleat being too far inside. Hamstring was from a saddle that was too forward or back, can't remember. And hot spot was from a cleat and uncomfortable shoes.
Good luck finding the answers tho

Have you checked at cptips.com?
From my personal experience and from what I've read, it sounds like you are over-pronating. And/or your cleat is positioned too far to the outside of the shoe. Your knee is probably moving to the inside; hence, the eventual pain on the outside of the foot.
Have you looked at yourself on a trainer in a mirror, pedaling? I have a laser level that is handy for this. It will show up knee tracking issues. If you know which way your knee is going, you can use wedges to correct it.
