I suppose this will be cleared up when you post the exploded view. I believe you want the moons attached to the wheel with the outer ring fixed to the frame.

It's not shown in the picture (yet) but six bolts will hold the ring gear to wheel, it's actually 1/8" thick, while the wheel has an 1/8" flange, total wheel thickness 1/4". The Sun and Moon gears are all idling on shafts (see those bearings in the plate? those are for the Sun and four Moon gears) while the ring will spin, and in turn the wheel. I will post the exploded later today, for now I need to clean my room before my parents yell  .
