Well, I tried to think of another way to make it happen. I'm also not a programmer. It seems to me that even putting it on a layer of it's own, wouldn't work because the layer is attached to the map and thus moves as the view moves. So, my next question is, do your players need to see all 3 bars all of the time? What purpose would the HUD serve? Maybe we (other users) can provide you with alternatives if you can explain what your looking to get out of the HUD.
