    Are you using a brisket board?
    If you are use maybe a 4x2 and nail it down with 125mm express nails. Permanent job.
    I used to be tormented with mats lifting but never since I’ve used this method.

    Make sure you put a good sized washer along with the concrete screw or it'l pull through the mat.

    Do you have to pilot hole for those concrete screws.
