I think the answer is:
Diagonally
My prefix is helpful if reversed,
Aid
My infix is in the past,
Ago
My suffix can be a friend
Ally

Needs an N to complete the word
look at me from a different angle
Descriptive of "diagonally"
and this puzzle you may untangle.
Seems so.

$\begingroup$ @ShahriarMahmudSajid No help, I actually thought the exact same initially but paused for thought before answering as I felt the suffix was a little too tenuous. Didn't take long from first reading to get to that point, maybe 2 minutes. $\endgroup$ Sep 1, 2018 at 9:41

I think the answer is
Diagonal
My prefix is helpful if reversed,
Dia is "aid" reversed.
My infix is in the past,
Ago - meaning in the past.
My suffix can be a friend
Al - "If you'll be my bodyguard, I can be your long lost pal"
Just a little direction you may append.
N for North, the only letter yet to be included.
look at me from a different angle
and this puzzle you may untangle.
A diagonal line is set at an agle from horizontal and vertical.
