I have the Nest Wifi Pro 3 pack. One is connected to my modem. The other two I want to hardwire as I have cat 5 outlets throughout the house. I cannot figure out how to get these points hardwired to ethernet so they work together in that manner as the wireless connection between the points is weak. Google support chat was not helpful. If anyone has suggestions I would appreciate it.

Hello @pricebl
Take a look at this support page for details: https://support.google.com/googlenest/answer/7215624?hl=en
But, the short version is that the one connected to your modem is the "primary" and is acting as a router+firewall. So, the other two will need to be connected to the "inner" network created by the primary. To do that, they need to connect through the "LAN" Ethernet port on the primary. Since there's only one port, you'll need an inexpensive unmanaged Ethernet switch to make more ports available.
