Lofting through hexagons

What I have is a three layered hexagon and I'm trying to loft through each of them to create panels. For some reason when I use a list item component to pull out one panel to loft it will work, if I try to loft all the curves at once it won't loft properly. Attached is the file, seems to be like an easy fix but I'm not getting it.

And what could be the easiest way to map this onto a surface?

it's simple actually,

your work is perfect, only thing that you need to do is graft your profile curve data.

i've attached a file, check it out.

Hey thanks for the help, much appreciated! I'm not sure what my issue was but I actually managed to fix it. I just had to apply the rotate component to the original hexagons but not actually rotate them. For some reason when I rotated the two other curves it added what I'm guessing is a z value (check the param viewer). After adding the rotate I applied the loft again and it worked fine.

Would still like to find a way to apply this to a surface though; and perhaps the capping hexagons would deform and scale according to the base surface.
