I have three loose magnets. What problem will this cause. And what do I use to glue them back on ?

If the magnets are loose could this cause the motor to bogg down at higher speeds?

Can cause worse than that. Make sure the taper and bore are clean and dry before re-installing the flywheel and torque to the correct value.
