Dodge ignition coils ?

I have a 2011 dodge nitro 3.7L and I have a misfire code I’m trying to replace the coils and spark plugs but they keep telling me that It has 6 coils but I only see 3 because I think this engine shares them. Am I right or is there 6 of them 

Update:

There’s only 3 the coils they are shared between the six

    Usually it will be 1 coil and a distributor cap or 6 coils (one per plug)

    3 coils is correct

    6 cylinder motors that only have 3 coils will have 2 spark plug wires coming off of each coil. Do a search on youtube for replacing the coils on your vehicles to see where they are.

    The engine has a coil on plug ignition system.  There are 6 coils, one for each cylinder.

    There are six. Three are in the "back bank" on the engine. This is a V6 engine transverse mount. So three coils are in the front (the radiator side) and three are in the back (firewall side).
