tel = {2/15 Sqrt[
     =CF=80] (5 ff[0][0] + 2 Sqrt[5] ff[2][0]), -I Sqrt[(2 =CF=80)/15] (ff[2][-1] +
      ff[2][1]),
   1/15 Sqrt[
     =CF=80] (10 ff[0][0] -
      Sqrt[5] (Sqrt[6] ff[2][-2] + 2 ff[2][0] + Sqrt[6] ff[2][2])),
   Sqrt[(2 =CF=80)/15] (ff[2][-1] - ff[2][1]), -I Sqrt[(2 =CF=80)/15] (ff[2][-2] -
      ff[2][2]),
   1/15 Sqrt[
     =CF=80] (10 ff[0][0] +
      Sqrt[5] (Sqrt[6] ff[2][-2] - 2 ff[2][0] + Sqrt[6] ff[2][2]))};


In your text you state ff[l][m] == ff[l][-m] (-1)^m


Simplify[tel,
 Union[Cases[tel, ff[_][_], Infinity]] /.
  ff[l_][m_] -> (ff[l][m] == ff[l][-m] (-1)^m)]


{(2/15)*Sqrt[Pi]*(5*ff[0][0] +
        2*Sqrt[5]*ff[2][0]), 0, (2/15)*Sqrt[Pi]*
     (5*ff[0][0] - Sqrt[5]*(ff[2][0] +
             Sqrt[6]*ff[2][2])), -2*Sqrt[(2*Pi)/15]*
     ff[2][1], 0, (2/15)*Sqrt[Pi]*
     (5*ff[0][0] - Sqrt[5]*ff[2][0] +
        Sqrt[30]*ff[2][2])}


However, in your code you use ff[l][m] == Conjugate[ff[l][-m]]*(-1)^m)


Simplify[tel,
 Union[Cases[tel, ff[_][_], Infinity]] /.
  ff[l_][m_] -> (ff[l][m] == Conjugate[ff[l][-m]]*(-1)^m)]


{(2/15)*Sqrt[Pi]*(5*ff[0][0] +
        2*Sqrt[5]*ff[2][0]), (-I)*Sqrt[(2*Pi)/15]*
     (ff[2][-1] + ff[2][1]), (1/15)*Sqrt[Pi]*
     (10*ff[0][0] - Sqrt[5]*(Sqrt[6]*ff[2][-2] +
             2*ff[2][0] + Sqrt[6]*ff[2][2])),
   Sqrt[(2*Pi)/15]*(ff[2][-1] - ff[2][1]),
   (-I)*Sqrt[(2*Pi)/15]*(ff[2][-2] - ff[2][2]),
   (1/15)*Sqrt[Pi]*(10*ff[0][0] +
        Sqrt[5]*(Sqrt[6]*ff[2][-2] - 2*ff[2][0] +
             Sqrt[6]*ff[2][2]))}


% === tel


True
