Need Clarification on IEP for MAPD

i understand 3 months before, the month of, and 3 months after the start of pt B.
But does the MAPd need to start on the 3 month after, or can the insured sign up in the 3rd month after?

for example:
Pt. B starts Feb 1. today is May (3 months after the start of Pt. B). should the MAPD have started May 1? OR can they still enroll today, and have the MAPD start June 1?
