There's some nuances to pick up. Anything that is coloured red/blue etc to represent team are armour plates, you have to completely remove them and then black/metallic parts do damage to the structure. You can bypass doing damage to the armour and apply it to the structure of the mech if you know where to aim, but also each plate has it's own hp value meaning spreading it over multiple plates will considerably increase time to kill

Pic related for reference, hypothetical numbers -
Green parts are plates, you have to do 70 damage to removes them
Blue parts are structure, you have to do 50 damage to blow the arm/leg off or blow up the torso
Pink - the cockpit, damage is increased here like doing headshots
