If the capacitors are uncharged prior to being placed in the circuit, then the net charge in the part of the circuit right of the capacitors is zero initially.

I don't see how all of the right plates for all of the capacitors can be negative.

If you are familiar with KVL, you can use it for the 3 loops to get the voltage across each capacitor.. Just find the potential of point b, assuming a as ground(0V).
