 * I’m weak on query arguments myself, but I would try
    `'post_parent' => array(
   1, 2, 3, 4 ),` to get attachments that are children of any of the listed post
   IDs. If I correctly understand what you are asking.

 * Please explain what output you are expecting. More code showing how $args is 
   used may also help.

 * I think I understand now, the above is the output you want, but you are getting
   the 6 attachments run together and not associated with any posts. Correct?
 * If correct, you need to wrap your code in another foreach loop that steps through
   each post and retrieves the attachments for each post in turn. Note in this example,
   I am using pre defined post ID numbers. If you need to use some other method 
   to identify the posts, more coding will be required.
 *     ```
       $parents = array(1,2,3);  //use the actual post ID numbers here
       foreach($parents as $parent) {
         $args = array(
           //insert any other needed args here
           'post_parent' => $parent
         );
         $title = get_the_title($parent);
         $html_tab_images_3 .= "<h2>$title</h2>";
         //insert get and print attachments code here
       }
       ```
   
 * Not tested, some corrections may be required. Note your code is echoing a single`
   </div>` before $html_tab_images_3 is output. The `</div>` should be concatenated
   to $html_tab_images_3 so the tags balance.
 * I will be AFK for some time, so someone else will need to answer any further 
   questions. I hope you can understand my native English:) Good luck.
