Our new cat hates our established ones. Help?

We picked up a rescue cat (not sure on age, thinking around the 1 year mark) female from our local shelter. We have a pair of half siblings 6 months apart (18 months, 12 months) who are fully established. We tried to keep them seperate, but I accidentally let her out and face to face with the two established cats, who didn’t hiss or fight, but rather tried to approach and say hi. In return, they were met with a stiff clawing to the face and a lot of hissing / screaming. Neither of them fought back and we comforted them, but our new one is still on guard.

Is there anything else we can do? We’re trying to keep everyone happy, but she is not happy, and there was no trial period with that particular shelter.
