I think a 55 is slightly small for two Flame angel. However, if you have a lot of crevices and cave, they should be OK. I have a video of my two Flame in a 65 gal tank somewhere on YouTube. It mainly when they are spawning that I feel the male cramped by the glasses. Other than that, they did great. My harem of 4 now spawned nightly.
I just recently emptied the tank to redo the scape to make more crevices and areas to break line of site. (The photo is not great since I took it right after I finished the rockwork and was exhausted lol)

My only concern would be overcrowding with the Tomini, but it's really been a great fish. I've had the tang for ~5 years at this point, and it previously stayed with a Cherub (who was the bully) and then a flame (who I lost during the breakdown 😭).

Other fish currently in there are just 2 Occies, Yellow Watchman and a Lawnmower - anything else aside from the Flame(s) would be smaller/hardy guys (damsels, firefish, royal gramma, etc.)

I have 3 dwarf angels in a 70 gallon tank - coral beauty, purple masked and multibar, and they all get along well. I got them all as juveniles from Biota, which helped. The CB and multibar were added at the same time, no problem at all with them perhaps because they have slightly different body shape. The purple masked was added a few months later, the CB chased him a little bit for the first day or two but they have been fine together ever since. Highly recommend Biota.
