Does anyone know if the Veritas magnetic jointer fence fits on LN low angle jack and or jointers? Or if there are other fence options available for those LV planes?

Somewhat confused by your question. The last part refers to "those LV planes", but the previous phrase mentions LN.
At any rate, after mentioning that their fence fits most iron or steel bench planes, there is this footnote is on the LV site:
*Excluding our Veritas bevel-up jointer and smoother planes.

I believe the exclusion on the two planes LV mentions is because they don't have smooth sidewalls:

On the veritas jointer it's a non-issue because there is a screw-mount fence available.

So even though it says it won't fit their low angle jointer, it may still work on the Lie Nielsen low-angle jointer.

Looking at that jointer fence, it appears it would fit on the low-angle lie nielsen. (there's a video online of it fitting on the standard lie nielsen planes) my Lie Nielsen low angle jack doesn't have a body shaped that differently than the sides of a bailey plane, and it's specced to work on those.
