Sometimes it takes awhile for fish to get used to their new tanks. If you ever see fish acting abnormal, the first thing you should do is a large water change, this will usually perk fish up. Take reading of your water parameters and temp and make sure everything is on track, since you just added new fish, there could be some spikes in your parameters making your fish lethargic, thus the water change being a good idea.

angel fish are semi aggressive fish and they are very active fish, is your angel going up and down on the glass? if so it can be ick which is caused by stress to the fish or it also can be shock to the fish which will kill your fish look after it and see if it scraching the glass if so it can have ick, check if it eats check if its gasping for air,
