Without something to support the magnet it wont stay in place for long

You can get magnet closures which have a metal surround which has two or more prongs on it which pierce the leather and are folded over. You can also get magnets encased in a thin plastic pouch which can be glued to the leather. For the occasional time I've used a magnet I've glued it in place, just to hold it whilst working, then glued a very thin piece of material or leather over the backside of the item to hold the magnet in place

Try Superglue.  Gorilla Glue also works when you need a fast bond.

Here is the type in a plastic pouch;

I think gluing the plastic to the leather would give a better bond than metal to leather

How about putting it in a vise and drilling 1/16 inch holes sideways thru it??

Then you could sew it on.

I've only used the ones with a clasp . . . or thin leather pouch . . . they've worked great so far.

May God bless,

Dwight
