How can someone feel more FTM when AMAB?

Nobody is assigned a gender at birth. It's observed. The delivering physician or midwife looks at the infant's genitals and writes down M or F accordingly.

Even in the vanishingly rare intersex conditions where surgical intervention is required because the baby's genitals are deformed, it is usually obvious whether the child is male or female. In the case of true hermaphroditism, rarer than horse feathers, karyotyping reveals female sex with a >90% incidence.

Your entire question is absolute bollocks. Do better.

How do I write a character’s physical description without it feeling unnatural and clunky? I’m able to describe their hair and body relatively easily because my writing puts emphasis on small movements and fidgeting, but I can’t describe faces.

Furthermore, nobody is FTM or MTF; changing sex in humans is literally impossible. Sex is a gonochoric binary in humans, no power on earth can change it.

A man who “identifies as” a woman is a woman in the same way I'm a giraffe. Thoughts and feelings have literally nothing to do with sex at all, and gender as the word is used today, in practical terms means nothing at all.
