if it was me, i'd do something like this
1) speak with the manager of the group you would like to move to, find out if they would/could support your move, take notes during this meeting and bring donuts. are there are gaps in that group you could fill? particular projects where your skills could be used? etc.
2) if #1 went well, list the projects/tasks that your potential new group needs done and how your skill set could address those gaps. list the tasks you handle in your current group and possibilities for how they could be reassigned if you were to move. call it a "transition strategy" or something similar so it sounds important and well-planned.
3) speak with your manager to find if they would support a move, present your transition strategy and ask for their feedback. managers like to draw red lines, so bring a red pen, hand it over as you present the transition strategy to them, this makes them feel important. also, bring donuts.
4) at some point someone may tell you no. nod to acknowledge this input. do what you want to do regardless.

good job taking the initiative in finding the best position for your skill set and abilities to be used, and the opportunity for your continued growth and education.
