Open up a 700 x 700 blank canvas.

Copy and paste 54 as a new layer.
Resize 80%
Free rotate Left 90 degrees
Move into position just above your white canvas.
Use your Pick Tool and pull the top down a bit and pull the left side out a bit.

Move all 3 frames into position.
Use your Pick Tool on the frame just above the white canvas to pull it out more if you have to.

The order in your layers pallet for the frames, from top to bottom should be:
