Helo gyus. In this position I have a huge (hard backed) books box. The unit is 100% filled of books and I have 20cm behind the books I fill with material.

box is about 50cm x 2,5m x h2,5m room is about 3,90m x 380m x h2,75m I cant remove that Huge Box. So I wonder (maybe) it would be better to angle it. Do you agree with me? How many degrees should I angle it? something like that

Just a bit and get parallel simmetry off. (?)
You could angle it, yes, but the angle will depend on the geometry between the speakers, the walls, and the position of your head in the room. Probably at least 10° to 15°, I would think. Another option is to put acoustic absorption across the front of it. For example, 6" of fiberglass or mineral wool.

Symmetry is GOOD in a control room! The front of the room should be perfectly symmetrical, so whatever you do to the left side of your room, you should also do to the right side of the room. - Stuart -
