Just wait it out. Still might be trying to acclimate. Keep water clean and test regularly. Would try some ghost shrimp, live black worms or cut up earthworms.

I'd personally keep that baby ray in a floating basket and feed it up that way without competition from the other greedy fish and so it saves its energy to grow
water quality would be my first concern. How is your water quality? If its not A+ as you want it for rays then that is where you should start. Do you do regular and big water changes especially with those big predators in your tank?

Rays are greedy pigs and in my experience feed straight away but they do need top water
