I have a function calling a function, in ST and both outputs are BOOLEAN

I am trying a short hand

IF FUNCTION2
THEN
FLAG := TRUE;
END_IF

After Compilation I receive an error saying Type 'FUNCTION2' cannot be converted to Type Boolean.

Any suggestions on how I can use this short hand?

IF FUNCTION2() THEN FLAG:= TRUE; END_IF

The () brackets call the function. Without them you're evaluating the function itself as it if was a data type, without actually running the code in it.
