You are over-stocked. Why do you have so many Dwarf Gouramis, they should be kept in pairs not in groups. Keyholes get pretty chunky as do the angels.

it was my mate give me them as he was moving away and there was no one taking them he try selling and by the time he moving i already has 2 and i took his 4 and again angel was his too so i thought i just keep it for another 6 month or so i not sure how long they grow big

If you want to keep a group of Gouramis, go for a group of Honey Gouramis, they are slightly smaller (and peaceful) than Dwarf Gouramis

Ya, you have good filtration for that tank size but that is still a lot of fish. I would assume the tank is not super tall so the Angel will need a new home eventually, and like was said above, male Dwarf Gouramis typically don't take well to other males, however you may have the exception if they all play nice.

Hmm, having looked at the list the first thing I would do for now is to remove 4 of the gouramis.

Dwarf gouramis are territorial, however it is a 125l tank so I don't understand why you'd need to switch them for honeys.

If you kept a male and female, or two females then I think you may be fine.

After re-homing the extra gouramis you'd have:
2 Dwarf Gourami
1 Clown Pleco
7 Corys
2 Keyhole Cichlid
1 Angelfish
?? x Molly
?? x Platy

How many mollys n platys do you have? And how many of each gender? I would also be tempted to switch to just one of the species and keep a small group of them (1 male 3/4 female)

You also may find you have issues between the Angel and Keyholes as they occupy similar areas of the tank. However that wont need addressing until if/when they get territorial.
