So everyone in home upgraded to 13 pro max and 12 pro max from xs max and iPhone 11

we had both mophie 7.5w chargers that worked on IPhone X,xs max , iPhone 11
No problem till this week when we got new phones

now those chargers don’t wanna work they just blink white lights indicating foreign object.
If I swap 13 pro max after this to old iPhone 11 same charger it will charge just fine no problem.

My thinking is only new thing on these phones are the new magnets inside , what can I do ? Any qi chargers that work?
I can’t use MagSafe charger puck as we have cases that won’t work with it.
 
I have 2 Belkin wireless Qi chargers. They both worked with my XS, and both work with my 13 Pro - with or without a MagSafe case on it. They don't show the MagSafe animation on the phone screen, but the chargers light up and the phone indicates that it's charging (lightning bolt inside the battery icon).
 
I use a Samsung qi charger that works fine on my 13 pro max and also worked on my 12 pro.

I think your problem is the camera bump might be too big and is not allowing your phone to be in the right spot. Non of my old standing wireless charge worked for my 12 PM so I switched over to magsafe. The 12 PM camera bump was making the phone stick out too far from the sweet spot. The 13 PM has a even larger camera bump.
 
You could get cases that work with magsafe, magsafe is awesome you should consider investing into it
