I installed vinyl plank flooring over my tile flooring. I'm having trouble keeping the end caps down where the plank flooring ends and the title flooring continues. What is the best adhesive/glue to hold the end cap to the tile?

Tile glaze can be hard to adhere to, but urethane adhesives should be up to the task. I'd recommend a polyurethane construction adhesive, or clear Gorilla Glue (NOT super glue).

Do you have a certain brand or type I should get that's better then the rest?

Well, Clear Gorilla Glue is quite strong, and being clear has the advantage of not showing too much. But it's also a bit runny, and does NOT fill significant gaps.
I find it useful for stuff like this, and if the tile to trim fit is good, it might work, but I doubt it would work around grout lines.

PL Premium Max is likely to stick almost as well, but this is a construction adhesive, so it IS gap filling.
Unlike most construction adhesives that cure to a "tire" hard consistency, this cures more like a "bowling ball". It is a dark-ish grey that will yellow a bit when exposed to sunlight.

Cleanup of both of these urethane adhesives is pretty difficult. Similar to 3M 5200 (a similar product that cures white that might also work).
