I see that these residues are listed in mon_lib_list.cif, but I can't find the actual restraints files.

Amino acids (and nucleotides, and some other common monomers) live in
chem_data/geostd, e.g. chem_data/geostd/g/data_GLU.cif.  I think you
could turn this into D-glutamine restraints fairly easily, the key
step being changing the chiral center to "positiv".  I'm not sure
whether anything else needs to be done to get the chain connectivity
working properly, however.

Normally what you would do for a residue present in the chemical
components but not mon_lib or geostd is run eLBOW with the
three-letter code.
