Lateral #1 looks good. There are more buds forming on the left hand side that I can see. If you can, I would remove them with tweezers or wait until they are larger and you are comfortable removing them.
Yes Lateral #2 looks to be a challenge, but you may well be surprised. Clip off the buds but not the truss (flower stem branch). It just might get some new growth. As you seem to know, this is your weakest subject.
Lateral #3 Just clip off the truss beneath the lowest bud and it should be good to grow.
