Put the red LEDs in each of the holes on the triangles. Divide them into three groups (for each triangle). Each group contains 3 LEDs connected in series. Attach 1 resistor to each group. Test it with a battery to check if your connections are correct. Then test it with the three groups in parallel. Look at the picture for details.
