before u start make sure power is off before working with electrical lines ---start with the 12/2 coming into box black [power] white [ground-neutral] and u will have 3 separate lines for the lights so u will have 4 lines total coming in the box== with the 3 light lines take the white and strip back the plastic and connect [wire nut] all 3 to the 12/2 white line --now take the 12/2 black line and connect it to the first switch gold color screw- bottom screw -now take some wire about 2-3 inch strip both ends and connect from the 12/2 black wire connection on the switch and connect to the gold /bottom of switch 2 than do the same for switch 3 connecting the wire from switch 2 so u will have power feeding all 3 switches-- now connect the black lines for the lights to the other side of each switch and ur done

I specialize in wiring devices and timers.
You are adding a new light.
You need to wire a switch to the new light.
The existing box has a switch and receptacle.
Here's where I am confused:
I am uncertain if the original switch and receptacle are a single device.
Of if you have separate switch and separate receptacle?
And then:
What kind of device are you adding, a single switch?
Are you replacing the receptacle with a switch?
Or are you installing a double switch as shown below?
Add a comment and tell me the devices you are working with and the color of the screws on sides of each devices and I will get it wired correctly for you.
The double toggle switch shown above has brass screws on one side and silver screws on the other side.
The brass screws are connected by a brass plate.
The silver screws on the other side of the device are separate.
The hot wire connects to the brass screw.
The outdoor light connects to one of the silver screws.
The new light connects to the other silver screw.

The Leviton page for Leviton 5613 does not have a troubleshoot.
Manual shows simple wiring diagram.
3-way switches will not operate lights if switches are wired incorrectly.
Check your ground wire is connected.
Leviton 5613 series is illuminated.
Check that both switches have 5613 number.
Swap switches and see if problem is inside switch.
SOURCE: IN THE OLD DOUBLE SWITCH I REPLACED WITH THE 5224,
The switch is wired backwards. Swap sides with the wires.
If you look closely at the switch you will see that one side has 2 screws that are joined together with a metal tab. _That_ is the side that gets the hot wire, pick a screw, it doesn't matter which one as long as you don't break off that tab.
On the other side of the switch you will see that the 2 screws are _not_ joined together with a metal tab. _Those_ are the screws that connect to each individual switch leg.
