Three boards really close to the pith, in the center too, will do that. Those also look pretty wide, which only exacerbates the problem. How long did you let these dry after milling? Were they all totally flat when you glued them up?
Unfortunately there’s no saving it in its current state. Your best bet is rip all three apart, then rip the three boards in half, ideally removing the center inch or two (the area most prone to cupping) when you do so, and regluing the now 6 pieces
