Can my 1month old baby still get his 1st hepitites b shot if he didn't get it when born? or is it too late? or shld i wait until his 2month vaccines?

Yes: He can get it and I recommend he get it. Your doctor may want to give a combination vaccine that has Hepatitis B at the 2 month visit if it is available. Call and ask your doctor. In general it is best to have 1 month between vaccines so if he does got it now the next set will be in one month.
