You should simply try :

$query->andFilterWhere([
    'or',
    ['like', 'profiles.first_name', $this->userFullName],
    ['like', 'profiles.last_name', $this->userFullName],
]);

or: similar to the and operator except that the operands are concatenated using OR. For example, ['or', ['type' => [7, 8, 9]], ['id' => [1, 2, 3]] will generate (type IN (7, 8, 9) OR (id IN (1, 2, 3))).
