[Python] Missing Fixing when pricing a CAP Quantlib Python

I am trying to price a Cap with Quantlib in Python. I have the following lists given:

• dates_3M starting at ql.Date(25,11,2019)
• rates_3M
• dates_ois starting at ql.Date(25,11,2019)
• rates_ois

My code so far looks like this:

ref_date = ql.Date(25,11,2019)

calendar = ql.TARGET()
curve_ois = ql.ZeroCurve(dates_ois, rates_ois, ql.Actual360(), calendar, ql.Linear(), ql.Compounded, ql.Annual)
curve_ois_handle = ql.YieldTermStructureHandle(curve_ois)
curve_3M = ql.ZeroCurve(dates_3M, rates_3M, ql.Actual360(), calendar, ql.Linear(), ql.Compounded, ql.Annual)
curve_3M_handle = ql.YieldTermStructureHandle(curve_3M)

startDate = ref_date + 2
endDate = calendar.advance(ref_date, ql.Period('72M')
schedule = ql.Schedule(startDate, endDate, ql.Period(ql.Quarterly), calendar, ql.ModifiedFollowing, ql.ModifiedFollowing, ql.DateGeneration.Forward, False)
nom = 1000000
capRate = 0.03

cap = ql.Cap(ql.IborLeg([nominal], schedule, ql.Euribor3M(curve_3M_handle)), [capRate])

engine = ql.BachelierCapFloorEngine(curve_ois_handle, ql.QuoteHandle(ql.SimpleQuote(0.3439))
cap.setPricingEngine(engine)
print(cap.NPV())


I get the error: "Missing Euribor3M Actual/360 fixing for February 25th, 2025."

My Euribor Curve starts with the reference date 25.11.2025 and goes until 27.11.2079. In the beginning I have a data point every month but from 2022 only once a year. I got 28.11.2022, 27.11.2023, 27.11.2024, 27.11.2025, ... The cap I am trying to price starts at reference_date + 2 days and goes for 72 Months. So it should end in November 2025. However, the missing fixing is in February 2025.
