You should be able to ground the brake magnets to the frame of the trailer and have them work fine. Or you can try running a jumper wire back from the ground wire of the magnet back to the main ground of the trailer frame.
If you are getting 12 volts into the magnets but they aren't working the problem is that the ground wire isn't properly grounding.
