Footer Widgets and Footer Bar..?

Hello,

I have 3 things i want to show from left to right in a single row at the bottom of my page (custom site menu, social icons, and a copyright text) but when i try and put them in widgets i get nothing. They will appear if i put them all in the footer bar but two are stacked on the right side and the other is left alone on the left side and the bar becomes very tall and it looks terrible. I've tried setting the global widgets to the correct number and flushed my cache, but i can't get the widgets to work. Even when I take them all out of the footer bar and try them in individual widgets, one of them gets displayed in the footer bar while the other two disappear. I'm confused...
