No, You are wrong dear Mleccha

This verse (Yajurveda 32/3) is indicating the fact that there is no one like Ishwara (Absolute Truth). Actually Ishwara beyond all forms and reflections.
Let's see the exact translation

न तस्य॑ प्रति॒माऽअस्ति॒ यस्य॒ नाम॑ म॒हद्यशः॑।
हि॒र॒ण्य॒ग॒र्भऽइत्ये॒ष मा मा॑ हिंसी॒दित्ये॒षा यस्मा॒न्न जा॒तऽइत्ये॒षः॥

There is no counterpart of him whose glory verily is great. In the beginning rose Hiranyagarbha, etc.
Here, the word “प्रतिमा” is “प्रतिमान” which means “comparison”. It is used to describe one of the गुण of ईश्वर. So, this ऋचा means, “There is nothing in this world which is exactly like Him”
Here's another example :

“न तस्य पुरुषस्य प्रतिमा प्रतिमानभूतं किञ्चिद्विद्यते” — The word “प्रतिमा” is explained as “pratimAnabhUtam” i.e. “comparative”.
Verse 10 of the Mahanarayana Upanishad of the Krishna Yajur Veda contains a paraphrase of this:

nainamūrdhvaṃ na tiryañcaṃ na madhye parijagrabhat ।
na tasyeśe kaścana tasya nāma mahadyaśaḥ ॥
Translation: No person ever grasped by his understanding the upward limit of this परमात्मा, nor His limit across, nor His middle portion. His name is ‘great glory’ for no one limits His nature by definition.
The second वैदिक सूक्ति quoted by this मलेच्छ, does not mention the formless ईश्वर anywhere. In this सूक्ति – शु॒द्धमपा॑पविद्धम्। Yajurveda (40/8)

शु॒द्धम means who are always pure by being free from avidya doshas.
अपापविद्धम् means One who never loves sin and sinful.
