Morphology
The core verb 'radge' already means 'to become extremely angry or upset', and the particle 'over' conveys the target/reason (angry over/about something), so the combined sense is directly derivable from the constituents. Although informal and chiefly Scottish, the verb + preposition pattern is compositional and would be transparent to a B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
The informal verb radge over probably comes from the Scottish word radge for a sudden, wild anger; imagine someone turning red and raging over a tiny problem. That's why it means 'to get very angry or upset', often about something small.
