It would need support from the ath11k firmware. Usually the mobile
chipset firmware (eg. QCA6390 and WCN6855) doesn't support monitor mode,
unfortunately.

You can check the sources yourself, see supports_monitor field in
ath11k_hw_params:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath11k/core.c#n40

For example, QCN9074 should support monitor mode but I have not tested
that myself so don't count on that. Hopefully others can chime in.
