Making the Oddsides Pale Ale clone. Recipe calls for 12 oz of flaked wheat that I don't have. I do have flaked barley and have heard that you can sub that plus maybe some flaked oats. Would change the flavour profile at all?

The flaked wheat here is used for some (raw) wheat flavor and head retention. You could leave it out and replace with more 2-row malt. Do you have some Carapils or Carafoam, they'll add head retention.
You can add the flaked barley or more base malt. Most say flaked barley will increase head retention as well. Im honestly not so sure of that, I think it mostly lightens the flavor as an adjunct. In a pale ale the flaked wheat isnt offering much flavor wise, so i think youd be safe subbing more basemalt or flaked barley.
