1930s house in Los Angeles with original super-heavy spanish tiles

What's a good solution for fixing a couple of loose ones?

I hope it's something a layman can do without major effort.

Thanks.

You dont need cement, so I will guess work was done in the past by a
hack. Ones ive worked on had nail holes and the tiles went on I
believe 1x2" wood.

There are various ways to install Spanish style tiles. One way is what you
said.

Another way - better, IMO - is to nail the first course then mortar the
rest. Mortar holds them very nicely to 90# roofing that has been hot mopped
on. The result is a roof with no nail penetrations (and no 1x2s to rot)
that will last for decades.
