Your gonial angle and length of your ramus are inversely proportional.

Longer ramus=smaller gonial angle
Shorter ramus=greater gonial angle.

Therefore, to lessen your gonial angle, you need to lengthen your ramus.

Idk how to do that unfortunately

A small antegonial notch is normal. Almost everybody has one it's just not visible as they're not lean enough.

I would go as far as to say its a sign of a well developed jaw
