Applying an agle between 2 sketch components

Hi,
My preliminary project is here: https://cad.onshape.com/documents/b86f14f92d4f0313e69c0881/w/e94b56c2f5be8d034ce31752/e/fd6ed896ad2b7bedc14a7776
Basically I'm trying to create a fill-in to an aperture in a vehicle dashboard. I've created a radio surround as you can see, but coming off that from the bottom is a 2mm flat plate. However, I'm trying to come off at an 80-85 degree angle rather than exactly perpendicular - but clearly having problems.
I think it's my approach that is wrong here and I may have to look into understanding how assemblies work. I've also have to subsequently add in triangular left and right sides to the structure and apply some strengthening fins in strategic places, but that's something I think I can cope with eventually.
Any guidance would be appreciated on the plate angle though.
Regards
Ian

Or did you mean that you don't want the plate to be perpendicular to the base it's attached to?
You can apply an angle between two sketch lines by clicking the dimension button, then clicking on the two lines you want to apply an angle between.
