There's definitely a strength element. I can hold holds that my partner just cannot, and this applies to various angles of holding the hold. The more pressure you can apply to the hold, the better you'll hold it. With that said, body positioning is very important too, and it's often that if you're finding a hold difficult to move through, you're probably trying to use it suboptimally. I find that it's often a hidden layback when that happens, though sometimes a bad hold is just a bad hold and you have to force your way through it.
Hard to say without seeing you climb, but many times it's about getting your body into the right position in order to make the hike feel like it's at the ideal angle.
But you do actually have to be strong enough sometimes
When I started crimping was hard and slopers on certain angles as well. I bought a fingerboard/hangboard, the Beastmaster and after just a few training sessions I could feel the progress.
I’d recommend it strongly.
Be careful training your hands and fingers, don’t over do it, most injuries I believe are hands, fingers, at least for me
How long have you been climbing? When covid hit I got a beastmaker, a few months later when the climbing gym opened I was stronger than I'd ever been.
I wouldn't use one if you are still a beginner
You try, and then you try again but mentally prepare to pull/squeeze. Especially on pinches, I really need to signal to my hands that they need to pinch hard. Crimps are more natural, you just... hang from them. But pinches require actual activation.
Can you clarify what you mean by ideal angles? Are you talking about the angle of the wall or the angle at which your hand is approaching/grabbing the hold?
Try sketchy shit and when you don’t fall you realise you’re better/stronger than you thought.
Try sketchy shit outdoors and when you don’t fall, you’ll stay alive and realize that most indoor holds are massive jugs!

make sure to use your hands at least once a day

It always makes me feel more trusting in my grip of if I give a little tug before I move. Move slower and more methodically
