The best way to think about this is imagine the capacitor plates A and B to be behind the paper plane and then think about the direction of current induced. Observe it from the right magnet's side whose South Pole is approaching so the face of coil facing that South Pole will itself produce clockwise current in the coil. So the current flows from high potential A to low potential B
