If you are married to a British Citizen you can apply immediately. If a foreign national then you have to await the 12 months after ILR was granted .

The OP does not have ILR. OP has PR as an EU national. Date of PR card is not the same as date PR was obtain under the EU rules.

On what date did you 'attain PR' after 5 years of exercising treaty rights?

You might want to apply for a Subject Access Request (SAR) to see what the date you attained PR is.
