There's nothing you can do to make his feathers grow back, you'll have to wait until the next moult. In the meantime make sure there are plenty of ladders to reach all perches in the cage, and I suggest rethinking clipping his feathers ever again. ;)

The actual clipped feathers you see on your bird now won’t grow- they need to fall out (moult) and be replaced with healthy new feathers.
Hopefully your bird will moult really soon- nothing you can really do till then.
As stated above- try to give your bird lots of ladders, ropes and perches so it can safely get about anywhere it wants to go till it’s new wing feathers grow. If you can give your bird a way to get about the rooms it occupies without it having to walk on the floor that would be awesome for your bird. It’s so easy for them to get stepped on and other horrible things like that when they’re on the floor.
