What can I do to help the introduction become full? (Guinea pigs?)?

I posted about this a while ago.

I have 3 sows. One isn't introduced. She's about the same age as the leader of the other two. Their names are Coca and Lila and Moo. Moo is mother to Lila and is NOT in their herd yet. Coca is the leader of Coca and Lila. -this is sorta confusing, sorry!-

Alright. Moo and Lila get along really well. A few squeaks here and there. I put Moo on the top level of Lila and Coca's cage, where Lila was. There was a moment where they just stared at eachother and then chilled out. I'm pretty sure they've already figure out who's leader and who's not between them.

The problem is Coca and Moo. Coca is, as I said, the leader. Since Moo is all alone and has been for a while, she kinda feels herself as the leader. The two can get along decently through a fence. Coca will chatter, and Moo will just sit there like nothing is happening. Eventually Coca will stop and waddle away. Since Lila and Moo get along pretty well together, a few squeaks here and there, I can pretty much house them together for limited periods of time. (I had them together for about 2 hours today with few compaints.)

How can I get Moo and Lila and Coca to all be in the same cage without fighting?

I had two males, but they were from the same litter and never had a problem. I checked my favorite guinea pig website and found this:

Hope they can get along after you take these steps. Unfortunately, some will never like each other :(
Good luck.
