My stocks were “granted” unbeknownst to me 5 months ago, I just received the agreement from our HR department. We’re a Series B startup, can I still file an 83b for my options?
Questions
6 months at startup and I just got my option agreement, can I still file a 83b election?

As far as I understand it - you only have 30 days after the grant.
If, however, the grant is an outright grant, there really isn't any point in doing an 83b.
If in fact you were granted restricted stock and/or have vesting, all I can suggest is to ask if the date can be changed.
