What is a triptych (apart from being something I have to take several attempts to spell)? For my money (which I'm keeping close to my chest) it's three panels, the central one being the most powerful, the other two serving it. I'm sure that's a very prescriptive definition, though - and yet, I think that would be the most satisfying arrangement. So, in this case, I would put the strongest composition in the centre, which would probably be the painting on the right ...
But: other opinions are available!

A triptych is a painting made up of three sections. Such constructions are usually made of two 'wings' or 'shutters' attached to either side of a central panel. Sometimes the panels are hinged so that the wings can be closed to protect the major image painted in the middle.
This is how I have always thought of a triptych Caroline. In my very umble opinion you have three nice watercolour paintings I noticed you have two of them framed ...saw on the gallery so to be academic they are three separate pics on a similar subject . . If you frame them altogether in the same frame yes maybe... in that case Roberts suggestion is a good one .
Here are three flowery things of mine all in identical frames. But it isn't a triptych ...it's three paintings...I know...call me pedantic. Though you are quite at liberty to disagree 🌻
