The duck feed, if fresh, should be sufficient.
Lower levels of some vitamins and minerals can cause angel wing as well as higher intake of carbs and proteins. So, you may want to cut back on the mealworms if that is thee cause.
The fresh feed, should be all they need.

Is this okay?! This was the best I could do. She’s upset with me and is rolling all over trying to get it off and she’s panting like she’s in distress poor thing

That look's good, If she continues to pant I would suggest doing the wrap a little looser so she can breathe better.

I looked at the pictures better, I was looking at the wrong wing at first, your right, that’s angel wing. Sometimes duck feathers get to heavy as they are growing and the wrist can’t support it yet. That bandage looks like it might restrict breathing. Have you ever heard of a figure 8 bandage? Around the elbow three times and then you make a figure eight around the wing’s two parts. The meaty part near the body and the thin part towards the feathers. Or, because she is relatively small, start by wrapping the wrist joint (keeping in mind that a bird’s wrist is the tiny bones near the feathers) wrap it from the middle of the small portion of the wing outward until you’ve covered the wrist and most of the feathers, then wrap the meaty part by weaving back and forth over the already wrapped and the meaty part until the entire wing is wrapped, when let go it should be sitting in a normal position. Make sure the finished product is in a natural position! Then take your coban/vetwrap/horse tape Circle the wing, not restricting her shoulder joint, a few times and finish by going around the whole duck, passing her breast bone and not neck and seal it back on the wing by a final wrap around the bandaged wing. You should be able to slip a small finger under the wrap but not two.

Wrapping her causes her SO much stress. I’ve been mixing oatmeal into her food and hoping that lowering the protein will help. I’m going to continually check. Angel wing doesn’t cause any other damage right? It’s not a death sentence?

It in no way affects their health, they just don't look as pretty.

Not a death sentence at all! Just keep her flight feathers trimmed when she’s an adult to look better.
