1971 911T Alternator Re-install problem

I had my 1971 911T Bosch 55 amp alternator repaired at a local shop. It only needed new brushes. I re-assembled everything and now get no generator light on my dash when ignition key is turned on? I am hesitant to try to start engine without generator light acting normal. Before repair my generator light was working fine and was bright when ignition key on and then stayed dim when engine running. Voltmeter showed no charge.

Any ideas what is wrong? I am not excited about tearing everything apart again, ugh. Repair shop claimed alternator tested good once new brushes installed and bearings were good. I double checked that all wires were connected correctly on alternator during reinstall. One question I have is how to reattach ground strap to alternator bolts before or after fiberglass shroud is fitted over alternator bolts? Thanks for any help!
