Tile repair - Thinset under adjacent tiles sounds hollow

I'm repairing some tented tiles in my basement, I've removed all tiles that sound totally hollow. There are a few tiles around the perimeter that sound hollow only about an inch in from the area with the removed tiles, but the rest of the tile sounds super solid. Should I remove and replace these tiles also? Should I try to squeeze thinset under those tiles?


These tiles are set directly on the concrete foundation, which I know isn't ideal, but the tiles came with the house. The concrete is in good shape aside from a hairline crack running right where the tenting started. I'm planning to use sanded caulk for the perimeter of the fixed area. Thanks in advance.

From that picture, it looks like they spot bonded the whole floor. I can't believe how clean it is under there. Doesn't seem like it was very difficult to take up more tile and just get it done now
