Yes — Triangle MNL ≅ Triangle QNL.
Reason: LN is the perpendicular bisector of MQ, so any point on LN is equidistant from M and Q. Thus LM = LQ and NM = NQ, and NL is common to both triangles. With three pairs of equal sides the triangles are congruent (SSS). Equivalently they are mirror images across LN. The given angle measures (32° and 58°) do not prevent this; ASA/AAS is not needed.
