Well the problem is that equatorial inclination of the moon is smaller than my latitude! I have options, another place of launch or expect a better window (01/11/2024). There is another way to get the moon with this problem? How to solve this?

I am using LaunchMFD with IMFD v5.5
my launch site is Kenedy space center

:facepalm: thanks!

use LTMFD to go to the moon. It will give you a time to launch. Yeah the moons inclination is less than KSC but it is not really a concern. Just head 90 degrees and you can make up the rest with your TLI. Otherwise make sure you are using the newest version of Launch MFD as it does take into account for launching to targets that are of lower inclination than your launch location. But for my countless lunar flights I just use LTMFD and it works wonderfully.

You can also do an off-plane transfer using IMFD. There is a lunar-off plane mode in the launch program. Look through IMFD tutorials.
