Angband was in the Iron Mountains not the misty Mountains and it was in the sunken lnd of Beleriand. A balrog ran away from the destruction of Angband and buried itself in the mountains and lots of other monsters hid as well to escape the wrath of the Valar. The Iron Mountains were where Forodwaith is. The mountains were a ring surrounding Utumno and Angband was like a gate and armoury in the west part of the mountains through the tallest mountians, three peaked Thangorodrim. So the dwarves of Moria did not unearth part of Angband.
