Directly modelling the unique solution property would be a quantified problem, essentially it would be "there exists a solution such that it is not the case that there exists a different solution". In principle, you can explode this into an enumeration of all O(n!) placements of queens and saying "either the placement is the same as the solution, or it is not a solution". That significantly increases the model size though.
For the symmetry, LinkedIn Queens generally do not have symmetric boards since that would imply more than one solution.
