Hi all.
I've recently just tiled bathroom floor using porcelain wood effect plank tiles down on aquapanel using mapei rapid adhesive from Screwfix.

I'll admit I didn't backbutter and used self levelling wedges. Now my issue is I've noticed some of the tiles 24hr later I can lift up that hadn't bedded properly. But that ones that seem to have I can still lift. The adhesive is both left on the floor and on the back of the tile yet I'm lifting up quite easily.

What would cause this? Weak mix? Should I be priming tiles or aquapanel?
