View>Image plane> import image
then select the file you wish to have as an image plane.
Do the same for the other views you have.

So, to solve this, I read that it was best to create a duplicate set of cameras for all the original cameras.
Then insert the reference images into the duplicate cameras, and then select those as your standard views for each different view.
