It 'sounds' like lymphocystis - but a picture - and more history is worth a thousand words

How long have you had the angel?
Any other symptoms other than the spot itself?

i’ve had the fish for about 6 days and no i haven’t noticed any other symptoms but i have noticed that it usually just stays toward the back of the tank

If the fish isn’t breathing fast and is eating good, I’d chalk this up to just being a minor injury.
