What three ways did you try? The best way to do this would be using
the --remote-tab-silent argument to Vim when launching your files.
This might help:

What exactly do you want to accomplish? We can't help you if you don't
say what you need.
Are you looking to jump to the already open tab if the file is already
open in Vim? If so, the command you want is :drop or :tab drop.
