Set up whatever apparatus you like, you can always set up its mirror image, and then the electrons are going in the opposite direction. So which is right and which is left?
Remember you haven't yet established with the alien what you mean by right and left, so you won't be able to instruct it to set up your apparatus rather than its mirror image, and of course you can't appeal to the right-hand rule.
This problem has no solution because electromagnetism is right-left symmetric. You would need to use the weak decay (and assume that your alien is made of matter rather than antimatter)
