There are several ways to enter triplets.
Here are two of them:
Are you using Simple Entry Tool or Speedy Entry Tool?
Both Simple and Speedy have a Tuplet (sub-)Tool.
1) In the Simple Entry Tool:
(entry via computer keyboard and entry caret)
4 (8th note sub-tool …)
Enter the first 8th
9 (… activating the Tuplet sub-Tool, and creating a triplet in 8ths …)
Enter the second 8th
Enter the third 8th
2) In the Speedy Entry Tool:
Position the crosshair on the desired scale step
Ctrl-3 (… a triplet is coming …)
4 (… entering the first 8th, and defining the triplet as 8ths …)
Enter the second 8th
Enter the third 8th
