Use two chunks of 5/16" dowel rod (alum or steel, wood might not be a great idea).. Insert them into the holes next to the cam -- the ones hidden by the cam retainer plate...

I have always used the pen magnets, I may try the above method next time since there is a 0% chance of one falling through.......
