Moveable panels with magnets

Has anyone used magnets for mounting the nanoleaf panels? The goal is being able to move them around on a large (and magnetic) wall space (like a dry erase board) to occasionally change the design.

I've used these magnets: https://totalelement.com/collections/all-discs/products/totalelement-1-2-x-1-8-inch-neodymium-rare-earth-disc-magnets-n48-30-pack - there's one position on the back of the Aurora panels that they fit perfectly into, as you can see in this photo: https://www.anchoragemuseum.org/dev/terra/5–Attaching-Magnets.jpg.

I used super glue to attach the magnets to the Aurora panels, but because the magnets are so strong, I've occasionally had a magnet come off if I attempt to lift the panel straight up from the surface they're attached to (it works best if the panel is slid to the edge of the surface for removal).
