Not 100% sure what a 3 sprocket index thingy is, presumably a lever on the bars with 3 indents.
Firstly ensue there is no great slack in't cable. I would set the gear in 2nd, and lever in 2nd before checking cable. Then you have 2 stops to limit travel, in or outwards thus changing the chain from one sprocket to the next. What my old man used to call a triple clanger many years ago, before all bikes had them.
Probably easier to do than describe.
Let us know how you get on
