I don't want to give the game away, but here's a partial solution.
Let $R=2$ be the radius of the big spheres and $r$ the radius of the small sphere. Let the surface be the XY plane.
The centres of the big spheres form an equilateral triangle. We can align one side of the triangle with the Y axis, with the perpendicular bisector of that side aligned with the X axis, passing over the origin.
Eg, let the coords of the centres of the big spheres be
$$(-u, -R, R), (-u, R, R), (s, 0, R)$$
Now find $u, s$ so that the spheres are equidistant from each other, and are all $s$ from $(0, 0, R)$. They will also be equidistant from the origin.
By symmetry, the small sphere sits on the origin, so the coords of its centre are $(0, 0, r)$. We now need to find $r$ such that it touches the big sphere at $(s, 0, R)$. (And by symmetry it will also be tangent to the other two big spheres).
The line connecting the centres of these two spheres is the hypotenuse of a right triangle. Its length is $R+r$. The other two sides are $s$ and $R-r$.
Thus
$$(R+r)^2 - (R-r)^2 = s^2$$
$$2R\cdot2r = s^2$$
Therefore
$$r = \frac{s^2}{4R}$$
Here's a 3D diagram, but please don't peek before you've attempted the calculations.
