New and frustrated - ESD mat and sticky mat same problem

Coming from a Brother machine; new to silhouette cameo 5a. Pattern is 7 rows by 7 columns 1-1/2 inch square with one diagonal on each one. Horizontal and vertical lines cut properly. The diagonal never cuts correctly on either the sticky mat or the ESD mat. Photos are (1) pattern, (2) settings (3) ESD before start (4) ESD after paper added (5) Video of failure.

I'm sure it's a setting but don't know which one??

Can't seem to add another photo, but cutting on the sticky mat pulls up the corners and leaves some areas not cut at all.

Cameo 5alpha switching from Brother Scan'n'Cut need basics

Since there will be no more Windows PC software for the Scan'n'cut after October 1, I ordered a Silhouette Cameo 5 alpha. I printed the users guide for Cameo 5 but many things are different. No instructions on pen settings or installation. But the big confusion now is the roller contraption and what the arrows and lines represent; specifically where is the 8-1/2 inch right roller go? If anyone could point me to specific 5a differences on setup, I would be most appreciative. There are vidios on unboxing & setup but they seem to think you understand the basics from previous versions which doesn't work well for me.
