 Sugar gliders not getting along

I got three sugar gliders for my birthday in August. Two male one female. Judging by the size and relationship they seemed to have we thought that the smaller male (Doctor) was the baby of the other two (Amy and Rory). We didn't know much about their past other than we could tell they were neglected and mistreated. They settled in and took to us in about a day for the males and the female took 2-3 to warm up to us. They are very well trained now. well About a week ago I got another one. We had seen it o Craigslist. It was free because the guy didn't have time to play with it. So we figured what's one more? Another male (Master). And we would be helping out the sugar glider by giving it a better home. Well when we got him home he again warmed up to us quickly in about an evening like the others. Well when we introduced the gliders Rory (the slightly larger male, the dominate one) attacked master. And we've tried everything gee could think of. but we've had to put them in separate cages at night so that Rory doesn't hurt him. Because he full fledged attacks him. If I take Rory out of the cage and put Master in there with Doctor and Amy he does great and they play with him. But If Rory is in there Doctor turns on him and attacks him too. So right now we had them in two cagesat night. Amy and Master in one and Doctor and Rory in the other so none of them are lonely. Amy is very protective of Master. She doesn't let the boys bully him hen she's right there but it's been a week and Doctor has stopped but Rory hasn't gotten an better.
