Will 32 ACT hurt my chances for PE recruiting?

So I had a bit of an untraditional path to IB, and my ACT score is a 32 / went to a less known but solid undergrad, supplemented with a target specialized master and now am in a decently strong IB group in the same coverage area I want to do go in to PE in. I've only talked to 1 HH and they asked if I have my ACT score on my resume- was wondering if a 32/36 will hurt me. Can I 'super-score' (will bump to 33 if you take my highest across various tests). Wish I took it more seriously back then lol.
