Hi. Pulled my cassette off the driver body today and saw these marks.
Was my cassette over torqued to the point it put dents in the driver body. Or is that normal to have some small dents? Cassette was put on by a bike shop not me.
Thanks for any help.

It is normal. The steel of your cassette is harder than your freehub body (aluminium).
This is completely normal, it actually looks pretty mild compared to other freehub bodies I’ve seen. Nothing to worry about
The excessive torque was from your powerful legs, driving those tiny cogs into that poor free hub body.
(😉 ~ as others have said, totally normal).
The opposite, you’ll get this way worse if you under-torque your casette. Friction helps spread the load across the casette
