You've left it late. The main entry deadline was 21 February. Fees have now increased and some of centres that do accept private candidates won't at this stage. However, it is still possible.

1.

Look at AQA's website for their advice to private candidates and possible centres.

2.

You don't have to take all 3 units in the same place, so you may be able to pick somewhere relatively close and cheap for the written exams and whereever you can find for Unit 3.

3.

Search threads on here for centres that accept private candidates for Unit 3. Accept that this is likely to be very expensive.

4.

Ring round anywhere that seems likely, ask to speak to the exam officer. Be very polite and sound organised (make sure you have your UCI - unique candidate identifier available).
