I have an old Arlo Pro and the case will not close all the way when the battery is inserted.  You can squeeze it all the way, but it won't latch and hold. The problem appears to be because the magnet popped out of the back of the case. If I remove the magnet, I can close the case and it will latch. 

 

Any recommendations on how to repair this?  

 

What normally holds the magnet in place? I can't see any sort of glue residue inside the identation.

magnets in the older cams were sort of a press fit... you prob have to clean out the area to get the magnet to fit again with possibly a drill bit or similar... once it fits again, drop a bunch of crazy glue on it and let it dry before closing case.

 

Or use the threaded mount that is also there.
