Keeping 2 pygmy angels is very challenging and it is recommended to have only one in a system particularly one as small as yours. The only people I have heard with success are people with very large tanks. I know someone with a 210 who has done this successfully but in a 60 it is going to be a challenge.
With that said a lot will depend on the temperment of the specific fish. Different fish have different personalities. Unfortunately these personalities can change over time as well so you will always need to keep an eye on it.
Rearranging the rockwork can definitely help. Moving the established one to a sump or another tank for a time can also be helpful with the initial agression.
Really it is up to you to decide, but I would keep only one.
