Yes those points should be aligned. Looks like the reg was not made right in the first place. Bend em back. Then to test it, just reattach it with the cover off. Around 13V or so at the generator you should see the cutout contact pull in and even higher than that the voltage contact should vibrate on and off to regulate the voltage, though it may not be easy to see. Just keep an eye on the generator voltage as you rev the engine between idle and highway speed.
