glue on magnets?

 Yes.  If you glue a pair of neodymium disc magnets around 20mm
diameter to the computer and another pair to the faceplate you will
struggle to separate them.  Even with the Trump surcharge they will
still be very cheap.

Cost of magnets is less than a tiny fraction of a percent of even
the cost of the "protocol converter" -- let alone the converter+NUC

There are also adhesive magnetic sheets and tapes, some made by 3M, but these will be much weaker.

I've not been happy with any sort of adhesive, in the long run.
Even *if* it continues to hold, any failure in the devices being
held complicates cleanup.
I might just opt for magnets on the cover plate (because it won't be
removed and, thus, won't "stick" to anything) and a metal plate on
the NUC (the bottom is plastic) -- coupled with a centering
guide on the cover plate.  It need not be large or obtrusive to
get the job done...
