A good quality adhesive will have enough "grab" to hold the tiles, never had a problem with the soffit above window openings so a slope will be less likely to fail.

the suction from the mud mix/adhesive should hold them is your mix too wet ?
you could use a wooden former propped up holding them but this may make the tile uneven an make them not flush
