You should always QT new additions, but that's not the trouble here. Your angel has claimed the tank as its territory, and won't allow any other subsequent tankmates to "invade". What size is your setup?
What you'll likely have to do is remove the angelfish and rearrange the aquascaping to break up any existing territorial lines, then once the foxface is settled in, reintroduce the angelfish.

My tank is a 125 but even if I rearrange the rock it will still bully the foxface. Oh and I just introduced a niger trigger

Have you removed the angel and THEN changed the decor? It likely won't work unless you make it seem like the foxface is the resident and the angelfish is the newby, so you'd want to wait until the foxface is established before re-adding the angel.

Yes I removed the angel
