I don't quite get what you are trying to do and what your command looks like. Why don't you just show us what you currently try and we will explain what is wrong ! That way it would be much easier.
normally rules are just specified as a path to the rule file, with the -r command line option:
the "my.rules" is a path to the rule files, it could for instance also be rules/best64.rule (or on windows: -r rules\best64.rule).
That is how you normally use rules, see https://hashcat.net/wiki/doku.php?id=rule_based_attack
