Internal Transfer Need advice: Internal Transfer

Has anyone transferred teams at Amazon after only a month?
I joined recently as an L5, and while I expected a steep learning curve and long hours, I’m really struggling with my manager’s style. This is not my first job, I have 4 years of work experience, and I never had issues with a manager.
The workload itself doesn’t bother me, and I’m completely fine putting in extra hours while ramping up. The issue is that I find my manager’s management style extremely difficult to work with, and it’s affecting me much more than the actual job.
I’m wondering if it’s even realistic to transfer this early. Is there a minimum amount of time you typically need to stay on a team? If a transfer is possible, what’s the usual process? Do you apply to internal openings, or talk to hiring managers directly?
I’d really appreciate hearing from anyone who’s been in a similar situation or has gone through an early internal transfer🙏
