Oh I see. So when using about it needs to be "AT about". So is there any difference between "at about" and "around" ?

I think you can include or not include "at" in either phrase actually. I'll be there at around 9pm. I'll be there around 9pm. I'll be there at about 9pm. I'll be there about 9pm. All seem fine to me.

Yes I'm so sorry for the confusion. You can use "at" for both of them. Adding an "at" sounds more grammatically correct but no one really notices or cares about whether you use "at" or not. It sounds fluent either way.
