How to do when there's two or more fields 'item_tpl', 'item_tpl2', 'item_tpl3'

I got an error when I do this code below.

$new_fields .= str_replace(
array_map(function($key){ return '{' . $key . '}'; }, array_keys($field)),
array_values(array_map('esc_attr', $field)),
self::$options['item_tpl', 'item_tpl2', 'item_tpl3']
);

Please help Thanks!
