stalling angle of attack with flaps is at a higher coefficient of lift but at a lower angle of attack than clean. Refer to figure 5 in High Lift Systems: Introduction because the increase in the coefficient with flaps comes from an increase in camber which moves the whole curve to the left (so that the zero-lift angle of attack is more negative).
