Hoping someone can confirm for me.
These old woofers have loose terminals. I’m going to glue them back in place, but wanted to confirm this silver ring should be on the terminal itself rather than attached to the cone.
It seems like it’s embedded in the glue, must have moved down with gravity while things were hot.

I'm not sure about your exact question, BUT, your lucky that your 'flying wires' still appear to be intact given the corrosion on the magnet.
A serious handy hint regarding old speakers is > carefully paint the wires with motor oil. WD 40 is too thin. Do this after any gluing has cured 🙂

The silver ring is called an eyelet.
The eyelet is fixed to the cone to provide a neat opening through which the flexible pigtail lead will pass.
After it is passed through the eyelet the pigtail lead is soldered to the voice coil wire.
Use a blob of glue to ensure that the solder joint is securely attached to the cone.
