Consider the vectors
\(\vec{x}=\hat{\imath}+2 \hat{\jmath}+3 \hat{k}, \quad \vec{y}=2 \hat{\imath}+3 \hat{\jmath}+\hat{k}, \quad \text { and } \quad \vec{z}=3 \hat{\imath}+\hat{\jmath}+2 \hat{k}\)
For two distinct positive real numbers $\alpha$ and $\beta$, define
\(\vec{X}=\alpha \vec{x}+\beta \vec{y}-\vec{z}, \quad \vec{Y}=\alpha \vec{y}+\beta \vec{z}-\vec{x}, \quad \text { and } \quad \vec{Z}=\alpha \vec{z}+\beta \vec{x}-\vec{y} .\)
If the vectors $\vec{X}, \vec{Y}$, and $\vec{Z}$ lie in a plane, then the value of $\alpha+\beta-3$ is ____________.
