= Solution

Let $J_k=\int\epsilon_{k\ell j}x_\ell g_j\,d^3x$. Local momentum conservation and integration by parts, with the boundary term vanishing for a localized field, give
$$
\dot J_k
=-\int\epsilon_{k\ell j}x_\ell\partial_i\sigma_{ij}\,d^3x
=\int\epsilon_{kij}\sigma_{ij}\,d^3x=0,
$$
because $\sigma_{ij}$ is symmetric. Hence the total electromagnetic angular momentum is independent of time.
