Just like you promoted the paper over each template layer, promote the tube in
the same way:

Highlight the tube in your layers pallet and
choose “Promote Section to Layer” – the blend mode will go back to normal on
the promoted layer. That’s OK, just
change the mode on the new layer to Soft Light.
After you have all 3 squares done you can delete the original tube layer.
Copy and paste your tube as a new layer and
move into position near the 3 squares.
