definitely, flame angel is quite aggressive to other dwarf angels. even though i had luck adding dwarf angels to existing flame, the first 2-3 days were always world war III.
you can rearrange the rocks to break the territory and hopefully the flame will leave them alone.
one word of caution about potter's angel. it's a very shy fish and doesn't do well with stress. i really recommend against putting them together with aggressive dwarf angels, unless the tank is big (> 300g).

Mine has been fairly mellow -- as far as dwarf angels go.
For the first 6 months I had it (( along with a female flame )) with a solid blue dwarf angel (( it hasn't been officially named yet, but think of a blue C. nox )) in a 75. I ended up losing the female when I moved. Shortly after that I removed the flame from 75 -- was getting too aggressive with my S.I. perc pair. It is now in my 65 with a coral beauty and multicolored dwarfs. They have now been together for about 3 months now -- the flame spent the first 5 days in an acclimation box within the tank.

I've 3 flame angels in my 180g with about 250lbs of LR since 2007 and have added 2 lemonpeel and a coral beauty over time without any major problem. It took about a week to two to sort things out but after that they don't chase & nip. From my personal experiences coral beauty are the most aggressive once established.
Recently I added a pair of potters to a 120g with a established coral beauty and he was chasing the potters of two days which I had to shut the lights for two days. Now the female potter can swim in from of him without any problem but the coral beauty still like to chase the male potter every now and then. No damage that I can see though.
How much rock work do you have? I find that the more rock work the better when it comes to adding fish in general.

You can try a aclimation box put the new angel in it and see if the flame angel leaves it alone or tries to kill it.
