back buttering is a must when setting tile, especially a floor.

Former professional here. Everyone's mentioning back buttering which is important yeah but moreover you should ensure your surface is flat, level is preferred but flat is necessary. If it's not flat you can either use a method of doing so or compensate with thinset. You can even screed thinset to make it flat then tile regularly after it's dried

Back Butter = You spread an even coat of thinset on the back of each tile before you set it....also a vibration tool or a rubber mallet to tap the tile into place would work too...its okay if thinset comes up in-between in the tile you can clean it off with a toothbrush or a flat head screwdriver before it hardens as you go!

Large tiles like that need mortar on the back of the tiles, also please make sure you seal that concrete thoroughly before laying those tiles on that floor because concrete is porous and that is a recipe for disaster. If I we’re you, I would probably try to put some sort of underlayment on top of the concrete before you tile

I see all the comments about back buttering the tiles one other thing on 12"x24" tiles you're supposed to lay on a 1/3 pattern.
