If anybody isn't reading posts, it's yourself. I'll help you out by saying it one more time: If you have the magnet disk the wrong way (very likely), it'll work when you pedal backwards. If you have it the right way (not likely), it'll work when you pedal forwards.
The axial gap must be about 1mm.
Ideally, the magnets should pass directly over the red bit, though it can tolerate a bit of radial offset, like you have. You'll know if it's OK when you try it. It'll either work or not. If not, you need to change something.
