I have not used that yeast before or some of the hops but i do brew quite a few Rye IPA's. Dont be afraid to up the amount , 25% or more is fine. I would also do a 10minute addition and flameout. Mix up the hops a bit more perhaps. Sounds good, i love mango but every time i try adding fruit to a batch i end up prefering it without. It tends to dry the beer out to much for my taste.
 
I think your recipe looks fantastic. The mango will work really well with those hops, though BeerCat is correct, fruit additions do dry a beer out, however the rye and oat additions will counter that a bit. I'd probably be tempted to mash a couple of degrees higher also. Are you using fresh mango?
I made a RyePA recently with 10% rye and it's a very subtle flavour, I've used up to 20% in saisons which does give a decent rye flavour.
 
Thanks for the comments

I'll look at upping the rye to ~15% as i'm looking for a spicy flavour from the rye to try and balance the mango flavour a little, and may drop the crystal (it was only really there for colour).

I was planning on using a bought mango puree, having decided which yet, which is likely to be 90% mango with 10% sugar will aid in drying the beer out. I might look at increasing mash temp to 67 - 68C instead to leave some sweetness.
