My issue is that even with dock hiding set to off, the dock hides itself until you click on the right screen where its hiding (when using multiple monitors) So given this additional insight does your setup work this same way when you have Bottom set for Dock location and try seeing if the dock appears on each of the three monitors in the same way? Still no luck on putting Dock on either right or left and having it appear on anything other than the monitor that has the Toolbar associated with it (top monitor in my case). This "theory" is based on setting my two monitors in a slightly offset vertical arrangement where there really is multiple "bottoms". And if you place the cursor anywhere along the bottom of the lowest monitor then the dock should appear. If you place cursor on lower right corner of rightmost monitor then dock should appear. So in your three monitor image case you have above, the dock should appear in leftmost monitor if you place cursor in the lower left corner of it. If you set the dock to appear at the "Bottom" and move the cursor to the portion of the screen of any of the three monitors that is NOT shared, then the Dock should appear on that monitor. Given your three monitor setup I think you discovered a way around the vertical setup limitation I talked about earlier. I learned this from the article at all-monitors-1311709 This has been the case for quite a while - at least since Yosemite (I verified on a Yosemite two monitor setup also). If you have a vertical arrangement, selecting either "Right" or "Left" for the Dock location in the Dock System Preferences pane, and the Dock DOES NOT MOVE to the corresponding monitor edge you move the cursor to - inconsistent and a BIG BUMMER. So if you have a horizontal arrangement (which you can change in the Displays System Preferences pane), select "Bottom" for the Dock location in the Dock System Preferences pane, and if you move the cursor to the Bottom of any of the monitors the Dock should appear there in a second or two (I verified this in a two monitor setup - so hopefully OP can verify this in a three monitor setup). Unfortunately, only the horizontal Display layout and the "Bottom" Dock setting will allow the Dock to migrate to whichever screen bottom you place the cursor at (takes a second or two for the Dock to appear on the new monitor).
Not sure what will happen if you form some sort of "L" shaped pattern as I only have two monitors in my setup - would guess that the rule still holds but unable to verify - perhaps OP can verify with his triple monitor setup? If you organize them vertically there are multiple "Left" and "Right" but a single bottom. Since all displays form a single virtual display surface, there is only one "Right" and one "Left" but multiple "Bottoms" if the displays are organized horizontally from left to right. You can get the Dock to appear on any single monitor of a multiple monitor setup, but with a caveat.
