No, you do not need to set the offset.
The size says the chips capacity. which is correct. The block size is chip internal sector size. Nothing to do with the offset.
But your data file shoulde have size same as the chip. 0x00200000, if your data file has a different size, then it may not be correct data file. |

wrote to a blank chip then read it with another program and got the following
SPI flash ID 0xbf2541, size 0x00200000, block size 0x00008000
does this mean i have to offset my GQ-4X in anyway |

Some motherboard will check the device ID before boot.
Checked the datasheet on both chips, and they should compatible on reading.
OR, there are hardware compatibility not good enough on your project.
You have to check the datasheet and see what are at the differences on hardware DC CHARACTERISTICS.

They should be read compatible. Is it the chip been write correctly?
Check you data file is correct too.
