That may mean the devices that were already on your network before you added the third reality plugs will not use them as repeaters.
If you want your existing devices to consider the third reality plugs as candidate repeaters, you have to “heal“ the Zigbee network, to get it to recalculate the neighbor tables.
Fortunately, this is easy.
First add all your devices to your network.
Next, take your hub, and only your hub, off power, including taking out batteries if it has those. Leave it off power for about 20 minutes. This will cause all of the other devices to go into “panic mode“ because they can’t find the hub.
When you power on the hub again, all the devices will rebuild their neighbor…
