Why does it look like this?

I’ve grown this mango since it was a seed and it has always done surprisingly well given my climate region. I do keep it inside and keep it on a good watering schedule (including making sure the soil never completely dries out) however it has started to droop its leaves and they feel really stiff. Please if you have any ideas what is happening or how to fix it tell me πŸ™. I did repot it a couple weeks ago ago but it was doing fine until just a couple days ago.
1ft to light, indirect
5” pot with drainage
Last watered 1 week ago
I'm leaning towards transplant shock. Here's a quick link to a Greg.app article about this very thing. https://greg.app/how-to-repot-a-mango/#:~:text=🚿%20Aftercare,day%20after%20a%20stressful%20move.
And the relevant quote: "Post-repotting, your mango plant might be a bit dramaticβ€”drooping leaves, looking a little shocked. Don't panic; it's normal. Keep it in a bright spot and water sparingly until it perks up. Think of it as the plant equivalent of a spa day after a stressful move."
@ShinTimeLord ok πŸ‘ I’ll wait and see it ends up looking better. Thanks so much for the helpful reply 😊
