Amex travel, Air France, and MQD earning
I booked an AF flight on AF metal through the amextravel portal in an effort to increase my MQD earning. When I go to the AF website to check on my flight, the mileage accrual is set to Flying Blue and I do not see an option to change it to DL. Is there a way to change it to DL?
If I screwed this up, I can cancel the flight as I am still within the 24 hour cancel window, FWIW.

Try texting AirFrance, they reply very quick and can help you. If not, during check-in you have the opportunity to enter your Skymiles instead.
I have an upcoming AF reservation and accidentally added it to my FB profile (didn’t sign out before checking it on the AF website). It still shows my Skymiles number and I have access to all Plat benefits (2 pieces of luggage, front seats for free, etc) however it shows me as Explorer instead of DL Platinum. Since my Skymiles shows there, is it safe to assume that it will be credited to DL?

I have purchased AF tickets from AmEx before. OP is correct in that there isn't a way on the AmEx site to enter your DL number. As others have recommended, your best bet is to call AF and def get it resolved beforehand. It is also my understanding that it is next to impossible to unwind this after the flight.

If you have several weeks to waste, try calling AMEX travel……I had to ask for someone fluent in English, however, but got it fixed. Tried calling DL to no avail. I also used messenger with AF and they added it. Good luck! AMEX travel is a mess!
