There's no quarter note in that image.
You can flip stems using X or the Inspector. Or by using the automatic for voice 1 and 3 for upstem and voice 2 and 4 for downstem

I know, I couldn't find one to use as an example but the same idea
Yep!
Voice 1 for the melodic F and E
Voice 2 for 8th notes
Voice 4 for bass notes (D and A)

Thanks, Where do I find that feature? In the inspector?

It's not a particular feature. MuseScore displays by default the stems facing up for voices 1 and 3, and facing down for voices 2 and 4. One should know this.
Then, in guitar writing (where the use of three voices is really predominant), it turns out that using voice 1, voice 2 and voice 4 allows you to eliminate any stem direction editing work, since it works that way by default.

In the inspector you can override that default behavior
