Core One Camera mounting issue
I cannot get the camera to hold firmly in the corner. It is as if the magnets are not powerful enough. What am I doing wrong?

It's likely that you have simply not found the right position yet. The magnetic mount does not register in a very obvious, positive way. The optical axis (camera lens) needs to be oriented at 45° relative to each of the metal corner profiles.
Edit: Maybe try it with the cable unplugged at first, so that can't interfere. After you get the feel for the right position, repeat with the cable plugged in.

I printed this mod: Core One Buddy3D Camera lid remixed to improve view of printbed, then used super-strong N52 magnets. It also gives me a much better angle on the print bed.

You should be able to check the magnet strength on a metal surface outside of the CoreOne. That should eliminate your concern about magnet strength.
It took me a few tries to find the correct orientation to get the camera to mount. Once I did it was very secure.

That guy claims Prusa support told him that the magnets are missing in his camera. But I see the magnets in the photo he posted. Maybe his user name is meant to tell us something?
More relevant though: Are the magnets missing in your camera? See the assembly photos here (scroll down a bit in the Description section) to see where the magnets go. If the magnets are where they should be, I would repeat my recommendation to retry positioning the camera, first without the cable plugged in.

The stock magnets are weak and if you don't position the camera correctly it doesn't easily stick to the frame. I thought the same at first that they forgot to put in the magnets until I took the cover off.
