Looks like you initially confused Blade Angle and AoA. The blade has more blade angle at the root than the tip to keep the AoA constant due to different distances covered by the blade according to where on the blade we look. The tip travels much further rotationally than the root. This makes the RPM vector much longer and brings the relative airflow towards the plane of rotation of the propeller disc.
