Since Jesus had just literally ascended, the angels were providing a literal description of His return.
Not every reference to clouds is literal. Nor is every reference to clouds symbolic or spiritual.

Please, explain how you know the clouds in Matthew 24:30, Matthew 26:64, Mark 13:26 and Luke 21:27 are not literal clouds.
Wasn't Jesus literally coming in "power" and in "glory"?
So, what biblical evidence did you use to decide these clouds were not literal as well?
