Does it really matter? There weren't any primates prior to the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs. Primates became primates some millions of years ago, but most certainly after the dinosaurs, as they existed 65m years ago, were gone.
At best, you could argue that modern 'dinosaurs' - birds, certain reptiles, and certain aquatic creatures that have forms that have existed for untold millions of years lived at the same time as ancient primates, but not humans, the genus homo, or any primate existed during the time prior to 65m years ago.

The first mammals from that age are known, as are the first primates.

The first mammals formed during the age of the dinosaurs and the first primates formed after dinosaurs were extinct. The first primates were a lot like modern shrews and squirrels. The first mammals were almost as much reptile as they were mammal.

Monkeys and apes did not appear until 25~30 million years after the first primates.
So no, there were no monkeys or apes during the age of dinosaurs and the papers/websites I'm looking at don't seem to think that even the earliest primates existed before the extinction event that killed the dinosaurs.
At best, you could argue that maybe the earliest, earliest, earliest prototype primates evolved just before the extinction event and survived. However, what is definately wrong here is that no apes or monkeys were around more than 30-some odd million years ago. Ergo, you are wrong.

Fair enough I surender, also when I said monkey or ape like amimal I did mean primate and now that there are facts on the table I can say now that I agree with you. Thanks.
