3 point lighting

I've been experimenting with rendering and came across the issue of lighting. I read up on some lighting techniques and found 3 point to work for most situations, and it looked fairly easy so I gave it a go on a quick test subject.

Here are the tutorials I followed:

https://www.andrew-whitehurst.net/3point.html

My trouble is with the back light, which just doens't do what I need. It's either not apparent at all, or way too apparent.

I'm sure it's just a matter of tweaking some settings. I was wondering if anyone has a sample 3 point lighting scene so I can take a look at settings and configurations.

Here's what I have, and the scene is included.
