The cap frame really does not come apart so you will have to glue it in place. I would use clear epoxy, as JB weld contains metal particles which you don't want on an insulator.

You could insert sheets of thin card stock paper between the rotor and stator plates to align them and keep them in place while the glue sets.

If all else fails, here is a parts chassis for sale:
