Can overfilling the crankcase of a 2015 Acura RDX with a 3.5 L engine filling it overfilling it by about a quarter of a quart will that do any damage to the engine

Overfilling the crankcase with oil to a point where the oil level comes in contact with crankshaft can damage an engine.

But a quarter of a quart of oil shouldn’t be enough to do that.
