neodymium magnet attached to lens cap + hot shoe cover

I attached a magnet to the lens cap and the hot shoe cover of my Fujilm XT4. It never touched nor touches the memory card. The setup is displayed below. 

Any thoughts? Did this three or four months ago so as to prevent losing the lens cap and hot shoe cover. I figure it is environmentally friendlier and cheaper. I have not noticed any issues with the camera so far and all functions have worked well. 

I used D-Ring screws (or any metallic screw) to magnetically clasp the magnet onto. The screw is screwed into the lens cage. I use the Urig brand lens cage which has worked out well so far but I would like to try out other brands of cages as well, as the one I use limits the camera's native ring holes exposure and makes access to them a bit difficult. I have some design ideas that I am thinking about that would improve both the Urig and the SmallRig designs as I see them both lacking in some features.  I wish I had enough money to help me realize the other ideas that I think would be quite useful and that no one has designed as of yet. I enjoy tinkering with things which I often purchase and this is a habit of always attempting to ascertain the best function of an item but never truly finding the perfect fit. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
