Give him time- Common for angels to lie on their side when acclimating/stressed.
Agree check parameters, but he'll probably be fine by tomorrow

did you temp. acclimate or just drip acclimate/?
fish are specially sensitive to slight temperture changes

my best experience with thius situation was when i temp acclimated then i drip acclimated in a quanteen tank w/no heater the tank would end up well below main display...
my acclimation procedure was request extra lg bags then leave them tempurature acclimating then sg acclimating with syrynge in same bag while floating.

Wallie,
Under the Acclimation section on the left, it says that Angles can lie on thier side while acclimating. If you just put him in then I would still consider that acclimating. Do your water check but I bet in a couple of days it willbe fine..
