Well, the stator has little brushes that run along those copper rings to maintain electrical contact so those rings should probably be on the same side the stator is on. Your rotor face might also be really dirty with carbon deposits. Try wiping it well with some sort of cleaner.

Also just thought: look into the alternator cover for those brushes. They look like two twin bars, and their placement should correspond to where the rings on the rotor are.
