Applying to new jobs with short lived current job

So I started this new position in December and was overjoyed when I finally got this position but quickly learned it’s not for me. At all. I’ve tried to make lemonade out of lemons but the environment is super toxic in a way I don’t think I can fix or adjust to.

I am super interested in these other positions that speak more to me but I’m afraid it will look bad if I were to include my current role on my resume and I’ve only been here for 3 months. But also I don’t want to have gaps on my resume. I was at my last job for 4 years so it should be obvious to a recruiter than I’m not a job hopper, but I want to know what you all would do. I don’t want to not try to reach for these opportunities that may better suit me out of indecision and want to put my best foot forward.

Thank you.
