A much easier way to accomplish this is just to
\set beatGrouping = #'(3 3 3 3)

This will automatically end beams at every 3/8 in the 12/8 measure.

But you will need to revert all of the 12/8 beaming rules that are found in
scm/auto-beam-settings.scm

To enable beam subdivision, just

\set subdivideBeams = ##t

See Notation Reference 1.2.4.

\tupletUp will move the tuplet bracket above the notes.  See Notation
Reference 1.2.1.

How do you know this doesn't help?

I don't know what you're trying to achieve.  But the second rule above is
already handled by the very first rule, which applies to all note durations
in the 12/8 (or any X/8) time signature.

HTH,
