You have to hold the Shift key while moving a window for it to snap into the tiles you set up. If you just move them normally they have a different snapping behaviour like what you described.
Edit: So as the deleted reply was probably asking, this is how it works in full. If you have the KDE Plasma desktop environment after a certain version (I wanna say 5.6-ish?) you can do the following:
Press Windows+T, or as we Linux nerds like to call it Meta+T, to configure your "tiling zones" on your monitors.
Hold Shift+LeftClick on the title bar of a window to move them into the "tiling zones" you set up.
Discoverability on this sucks (as much of the Plasma desktop does) but it's a pretty cool feature.
you are trying to use a feature that isnt finished yet ; like activites, or seperate wallpaper for each desktop

I have a vertical monitor and want two full-width tiles/zones, but KDE is still trying to snap to a quarter of the screen. What am I doing wrong? | Spyke

You can change the zone size by dragging the border with the mouse while you are in the editing mode.
Edit: so drag to 1/3 and 2/3 roughly, split the bigger field again.
thanks for this!
Once I figured it out it seems to work as expected.
How do you get into that tiling config? I found it at one time but now I can't seem to figure out how to bring it up.
Edit: found it, Meta-T.
And then shift dragging works for snapping.
I see you figured it out. Will add an explanation to my post as well, if you hadn't deleted your reply I would have answered that instead. :)
@danjay have your cursor snap like at the middle - i think it is like 'bro is real low so he wants to snap down in this corner, right'
If I snap it in the middle it fills the entire vertical height and half the horizontal width, which is the opposite of how I have the tiles set up.
