You should replace it. It can be reused if you wish, but if the the last trans or the trans you are rebuilding got very hot, it will distort the holding power of the band. They are not that expensive. Maybe $10-$15. I'd replace it with a new one if it were me. If you have the one end over the lug, then it is installed properly. It is a non adjustble band. If look down the valve body, you will see where the servo pin goes down into the case and applies pressure to tighten the band. It should just be sitting there arund the drum in a relaxed postion, and the one end hooked over the lugs. Very simple. So simple that is probably why you think it is not connected or installed properly.
