Well I would say that violating a person against their will is immoral. It doesn't lead to well being or flourishing. I don't know if that is objective morality.

It is objective morality. What you are saying is that you have subjectively decided that well being and flourishing are moral. FWIW I would agree.

Once that decision is made, it is entirely possible to make objective assessments as to whether or not any given action meets the goal of being congruent with well being and fluorishing
