Sounds like you have the wrong language layout loaded.

I-m from Portugal, but my OS is in English, so I chose that one.

OS = English means that all menus are in English, your keyboard hardware will most likely be set up according to Portuguese standards. So try the Portuguese layouts maybe? BTW: @ is at shift+2 in English keyboards

Keyboard layouts need to match the hardware not the software / OS language.
Just change the layout to your country's specifications in settings -> keyboard -> layouts.
US-English keyboard has the @-symbol at shift+2, see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/British_and_American_keyboards
