On a trailer electric brake assembly like the Dexter 6,000 Pound # 23-105 you were looking at the magnet itself should be at the bottom. The arm that is attached to the magnet should then be located on the front side of the trailer (towards the direction of travel).

I hope this answers your question but if not please just let me know!
