You should have a male female ratio of each species of 1 male to 2+ females. It will level the aggression out.

Also, if the aquarium info is correct the jewel cichlids and angels are not compatable with the malawi's.

Here is a guide to help you get properly stocked :

thanks for the reply ill add more females but the angels and jewels get along with the other fish fine but the jewels are a pair

They may be fine for now but they require different water parameters than each other, and as they are adult mbuna they will tear apart the angels and jewels.
