Can we use an angle bracket that's 4"?? would that be considered a joining plate for an extrusion or would it fall under steel angle in the additional hardware list???

There are limits on the size of angle you can use. It is somewhere in the Adittional Hardware list. Hope that helps.

If you did not physically join the plates together to form angle bracket (like welding them together), then yes, it falls under steel angle in the additional hardware list.

But if you are using 1/4" thick steel and bend it into angle bracket, that that will fall under steel plate (any amount).

Please try to make sure you don't actually use the 4" x 4" steel angle bracket and claim them as manufactured from steel plates if you actually didn't.
