Test different sign patterns for cosines
...
It seems like there are real solutions if and only if the product of the
cosines is positive.

Find real solutions for three mutually tangent spheres
...
I'm not sure why the solver wasn't working before. It might've been just
an unlucky random number draw.

Test a scale constraint
...
In all but a few cases (for example, a single point on a plane), we
should be able to us the radius-coradius boost symmetry to make the
average co-radius—representing the "overall scale"—roughly one.

Seek sample solutions by cutting with a hyperplane
...
The example hyperplane yields a single solution, with multiplicity six. You can
find it analytically by hand, and homotopy continuation finds it numerically.
