May not be the answer you would want to hear, but removing the concrete would give best results.
Pavers sit best on a base of well 'whacked' mixed ballast (in UK we call it Type1) then a final layer, about 2 inches, of levelled and well 'whacked' sharp sand. You then have a levelling topping of sharp sand on which to lay pavers.
Then 'whack the pavers down after filling joints with kiln dried sand.
Drive a tank over that, and no breakages!

Unless you have a substancial amount of sand between concrete and pavers, breakages can be pretty much be expected.
Hard against hard without a decent cushion, is not the best scenario.
