I just hope you'll understand my english...

Only molecule A has R configuration. Molecule B has S configuration since priority of substituents is Br>F>CHO. So, if you want to go from Br to CHO substituent, you don't move clockwise. And since hydrogen atom is under plane of Fisher's projection - molecule B has S configuration.
