Ask the person selling it to you what adhesive the manufacturer recommends.

It’ll be a flooring adhesive, but (hopefully) it’ll be trowelable and sold by the bucket, which I prefer over liquid nails.

And yeah, pin nail to hold it while the glue cures would be nice.

I didn't buy it =( It's leftover from a project at my parent's house, they were going to throw it away but I took it with the hopes of salvaging it.

I like the old-fashioned glue and nail approach recommended by others, any reason you would recommend a trowelable substrate? Like one used for a backsplash I assume?

It’s easier to get consistent glue coverage. Basically the ame reason why they don’t sell thinset in tubes.
