In your app.js create a directive for adding script element:

.directive('externalscript', function() {
   var injectScript = function(element) {
    var instagramScript = angular.element(document.createElement('script'));
    instagramScript.attr('async defer');
    instagramScript.attr('charset', 'utf-8');
    instagramScript.attr('src', 'http://platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js');
    instagramScript.attr('onload', 'window.instgrm.Embeds.process()');
    element.append(instagramScript);
    var twitterScript = angular.element(document.createElement('script'));
    twitterScript.attr('async defer');
    twitterScript.attr('charset', 'utf-8');
    twitterScript.attr('src', 'http://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js');
    element.append(twitterScript);
};

  return {
      link: function(scope, element) {
          injectScript(element);
      }
  };
})

and then in your html view call:

<div externalscript></div>

Inserting this into header and footer area worked for me in WordPress blog.

<script async="" defer="defer" src="//platform.instagram.com/en_US/embeds.js"></script>

The embed.js script that comes with Instagram's embed code has a process function you can call.

window.instgrm.Embeds.process()

Just use that whenever your dynamic content loads.
