Brake controller doesn't know and doesn't care what brake magnets are attached, how new or old they are, what brand or color, big, fat ugly nor what day you installed them, time of day, temperature they were installed, if they were installed upside down, inside out or sideways..
OPs issue is commonly an electrical connection issue which may have been user induced when replacing the magnets.
Op just needs to start looking at the work they did to verify their electrical connections they made are solid since the problem they now have started after they cut and spliced..
On edit..
Some controllers will disconnect/shutdown output if a short is detected, some will show a error which indicates short.. Don't know what the OPs brake controller is but guessing it may be one that disconnects on short.
If OPs controller is one that disconnects on a short then they need to check the magnet wires inside the brake drum to make sure the wires did not get pinched to the point of bare wire touching metal..
If OP finds a bare magnet wire, they can black tape it and then reroute the wires so they can no longer get tangled up in the mechanical parts.

Thanks yโall!! Those are some great ideas. Iโm going to retry the troubleshoot part!

Actually, crimp connectors with heat-shrink sleeves is the preferred method of connecting wires where vibration is present.
Since solder creates a stiff section in the stranded wire, the wire tends to break right next to the solder joint.
Solder connections on wires in vehicles are just not reliable. You might notice that there are no solder connection on cars: they're all crimp connections. In fact on aircraft, solder connections are completely forbidden.
Blacklane types the truth... Aircraft standards is to crimp.
