After some reading today, there isn’t much info on how cells form into specific shapes for arms, hands, organs, etc. (I am sure there is a ton of data, but I don’t know what subject to Google.)
Perhaps the term you're looking for is morphogenesis.
Yes, thank you. That is exactly what I am looking for. I dunno what I expected, but I was hoping that I was going to avoid a ton of maths. Alas, everything seems to be math. /s
For those who are interested, this led me directly to these:

Not really qualified to answer, but Michael Levin have done some very interesting work on bioelectricity and growth of bodyparts. He is beginning to control the cell/formation of bodyparts, and other fascinating stuff. There's some fine interviews on yt.
(Just for fun!)
Oh, just noticed that. Anyway, you seem interested in the subject, so you should check him out anyway ;)
I am totally interested in this stuff, so thanks! I'll absolutely check that out.
Oh, this is my version of "fun" and it's not for work or any kind of project for a school. ;)
