I've been on hundreds of roofs where that's been done and the new mortar
has come off and slid down the roof. The only way to do ridges is to
take the tiles right off, remove all the old mortar, lay a new bed, then
point up.

And if you must use mortar, use a lime based one which allows more
movement. You can buy it ready mixed, and the costs low as part of the
overall cost of doing the job.
