Select a drill bit appropriate for your concrete anchors (e.g., Tapcon screws often require a specific size). With a hammer drill, carefully drill pilot holes through the flange and into the concrete. Insert the concrete anchors into these holes and use a power drill or driver to screw them down tightly, ensuring the flange is firmly affixed to the floor.
