Flooring is by no means beneath me, but I haven’t really done anything below a shoe molding. So question for the tile high club: What would you do in the pictured situation? These are floor sections that have always felt a bit “squishy”. Today they finally popped up into the tent formation you see here.

Wait for it to settle and then add glue to keep it down? Cut it to fit?

Additional context:

I did not do this install myself, so the history is a bit of a mystery. This is installed in a full bathroom and is made of what feels like a smoothed slate material. I believe it is a composite tile.

    Not sure if it changes anything, but they added what looks like a dark grout or potentially caulking between the wall/floor seam.

      You know, that does look like they grouted it. You might be able to get away with just removing that grout/caulk and then just redoing the pattern. If the floor can’t move it will buckle but the pattern will make that problem even worse. So with both problems it was kind of just a given. If they added that grout because the whole floor moves then you can get non slip underlay to prevent that movement.
