Pro planer feed motor

My feed motor for the 12” Pro planer stopped working. I found that one of the magnets came loose in the barrel of the motor. I secured it back to the wall of the housing and the motor works fine now. My problem is that I must have done something wrong because it is spinning in the wrong direction. The feed roller is moving in the wrong direction for me to feed my boards. Can someone give me some insight as to what I may have done wrong or what may be going on with it. Thank you

You put the magnet is bas ackwards(north/south pole).

Reversing the brush wires may correct.

Changing the wires for the brushes did not correct it. The motor still turns clockwise.
