1. **State the problem:** Simplify the expression $$3(6x^{-9} y^{7} z^{2}) - 3xy^{5} 8x^{2} z^{-3} y^{2} - 3xy^{5} 8x^{2} z^{-3} y^{2}$$.
2. **Rewrite the expression:**
$$3 \times 6x^{-9} y^{7} z^{2} - 3xy^{5} \times 8x^{2} z^{-3} y^{2} - 3xy^{5} \times 8x^{2} z^{-3} y^{2}$$
3. **Multiply constants and combine like terms:**
$$18x^{-9} y^{7} z^{2} - 24x^{3} y^{7} z^{-3} - 24x^{3} y^{7} z^{-3}$$
4. **Combine the like terms in the subtraction:**
$$18x^{-9} y^{7} z^{2} - (24x^{3} y^{7} z^{-3} + 24x^{3} y^{7} z^{-3})$$
5. **Add the like terms:**
$$18x^{-9} y^{7} z^{2} - 48x^{3} y^{7} z^{-3}$$
6. **Final simplified expression:**
$$\boxed{18x^{-9} y^{7} z^{2} - 48x^{3} y^{7} z^{-3}}$$
