Brake Help please

I took my two front wheels off, then the calipers to paint them red . Drivers side was good, but when I got to the passenger side, the rotor was there just "dangleing" the onnly thing holding it on was the lugnuts!!!!
Whats the problem here, what should I do!
TRhanks, Matt

id rather see a person not know and ask then not know and tear somthing up but thers no problem thay have floating rotors if you look at the other side it should be the same way the tire holds the rotor in place

Damn, why couldnt I have had rotors that begged to come off when I changed them. Took me a hour and a torch to heat them up to get them off,.
Viperkiller, is absolutely correct, there is no problem, thats the way they should be, it must be your lucky day, is it your B-day ?

The rotors have detent washers on them to hold them in place on the assembly line. The first thing you do is tear them off with side cutters when you first remove a rotor. Nothing wrong without them, as stated the wheel holds them in place. Later>>>>>>>
