Right.
So let's assume you've proved that with the conditions
p prime, p > 2
a,b,c positive integers with a < p
the equation a^p + b^p = c^p cannot hold.

But that doesn't help you prove, subject to the conditions
p prime, p > 2
a,b,c positive rationals with a < p
that the equation a^p + b^p = c^p cannot hold.
You are making a rather blatant logical error.
Assume that there exist a,b,c,p with the conditions
p prime, p > 2
a,b,c positive rationals with a < p
such that a^p + b^p = c^p.
You can scale a,b,c up to get positive integers A,B,C
such that A^p + B^p = C^p, but in scaling up, you can no
longer guarantee A < p, so there's no contradiction.
