My method worked for years with no issues like yours. There may be one small but significant difference in implementation.
I think the style of fork makes a big difference. This was on my Fuji Track Elite and not really an issue of the magnet being too close, but of the mount being to precariously attached based on the shape of the fork. I tried attaching the mount in both ways, facing in and out...one way simply is not an option because it is angled out too far and when you attempt to side it closer, it won't stay and is even more precarious. So that left only one method....can't recall...I think it's with the magnet cover facing out. You may indeed have a fork shape that just works better with the mount, which is why you haven't experienced any issues. But after 3 knock offs, I called it quits.
