 How to evenly distribute Service Engines

Hi everyone, 

I'm not sure is the right place to ask, I have this problem : 

ALB configured for Tanzu, so I'm using vcenter cloud, and I have 3 clusters on my vcenter.

 I'm setting-up the Service Engine group  with 3 service engines, and I have declared my 3 clusters for the service engines deployment. The problem is that ALB randomly assign the service engines to my 3 clusters, so for example I have  SE1 on cluster1, SE2 and SE3 on cluster3, and no SEs on cluster2. 

I want one service engine per cluster, I can not use anti-affinity rules on vcenter for obvious reasons, nor manually move the SEs for same reasons... Is there a way to obtain the wanted result? 

Thank you everyone
