Morphology
The meaning 'a new perspective' is directly derivable from combining 'different' (not the same) with 'angle' (a manner of seeing or framing an issue). This straightforward adjective + noun composition is semantically transparent and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will understand the phrase.
Etymology
Different angle comes from the simple picture of moving around something to look from another side; imagine walking around a statue so a new face or angle appears. That's why different angle now means 'a new perspective' or 'a new approach'.
