I notice you missed the tank size...
if your tank is smaller than a 55
gal.. that would your first problem with the total load towards the end. You do not say how long it has been running with its first fish/fishless cycle. It seems like under 6 months ownership....?
You had 2 labyrinths in the same tank..but had no aggression noticed.
An exception and therefore a good mix (aggression would be more on the dwarf's end).
But you added angels that likely were harrassed by the dwarf if same size
and a female betta

Recently (like the past week) my male betta has not been very active at all. He doesn't even chase the female betta like he should.
I am not sure whre that idea is from. Breeding females and shy females will allow themselves to be nippedd a bit and chased.
Otherwise they 're the fish to watch. They are fast and likely to shred your male. Bettas that get along should be exibiting no chasing what-so-ever no matter the gender. Only small pecks at supper time and other queing events.
It seems like your male is hiding from the female at the opposite end of the tank and she is allowing him that space. This can stress him greatly if it is actually the case.
Also there is no "fine" when talking parameters. The way to say that is zero across the borad. If it is not zero it is not "fine".
There is ZERO....danger watch....and Fatal.
We need numbers because many here may be aware of sensitivity in a particular species to particular quality issues. 8) Give up the numbers...gallons/Nh/No
Also I would watch that tank one night or two from a less obvious view post and see if you have a secret bully stressing the others. Many bullys get distracted when we are near to feed or attend.....so we never see them harrasssing their victims.
