It's OK!!! You're doing everything exactly right - the cutting dies are supposed to leave an impression on the "B" plate.
I have the BigKick and it does the same thing. The plastic cutting plates (B plates) protect the bottom spacer and the top roller of the machine from being marked by the cutting dies. Eventually, you'll need to replace the plates - replacements are available separately; they're not hideously expensive; and they do last quite awhile.
I've read that some people kind of protect the top plate by putting an extra layer of cardstock between the piece they're cutting and the B plate. It still marks the top plate, but not as deeply, I guess. You have to be careful, though - if you make your cutting sandwich too thick, the plate will crack from the pressure of the roller.
