You're using the same exact control points for all three shapes. That is, when you do

.. controls (40:1.2) and (140:1.2) ..

(40:1.2) and (140:2) are in the same position, they're not relative to the previous point on the path. To solve this, use relative coordinates as in

.. controls +(40:1.2) and +(140:1.2) ..

FYI, if I remember correctly, when you do

(a_x, a_y) .. controls +(x1,y1) and +(x2,y2) .. (b_x, b_y)

the two control points will be placed at (a_x+x1, a_y+y1) and (b_x+x2, b_y+y2), respectively.

Addendum

Depending on your needs, a different approach to drawing those shapes might be easier to handle. You could for example use a pic like this:

documentclass[border=5mm]standalone
usepackagetikz
tikzset
 myshape/.pic=
 draw[thick, purple!60!black, top color=red, bottom color=red, middle color=red!60, opacity=.4] (0,0) 

begindocument

begintikzpicture
foreach y in 0,1,2
 pic at (0,0.65*y) myshape;
endtikzpicture

enddocument

This particular version doesn't exactly reproduce your diagram, but it's much easier to change, as you only need to change the definition of the pic and all three instances of it change.

  It's also possible to add named coordinates to the pic, which can be referenced.

(a_x, a_y) .. controls +(x1,y1) and +(x2,y2) .. (b_x, b_y)

the two control points will be placed at (a_x+x1, a_y+y1) and (b_x+x2, b_y+y2), respectively.

Addendum

Depending on your needs, a different approach to drawing those shapes might be easier to handle. You could for example use a pic like this:

documentclass[border=5mm]standalone
usepackagetikz
tikzset
 myshape/.pic=
 draw[thick, purple!60!black, top color=red, bottom color=red, middle color=red!60, opacity=.4] (0,0) 

begindocument

begintikzpicture
foreach y in 0,1,2
 pic at (0,0.65*y) myshape;
endtikzpicture

enddocument

This particular version doesn't exactly reproduce your diagram, but it's much easier to change, as you only need to change the definition of the pic and all three instances of it change.

  It's also possible to add named coordinates to the pic, which can be referenced.

You're using the same exact control points for all three shapes. That is, when you do

.. controls (40:1.2) and (140:1.2) ..

(40:1.2) and (140:2) are in the same position, they're not relative to the previous point on the path. To solve this, use relative coordinates as in

.. controls +(40:1.2) and +(140:1.2) ..

FYI, if I remember correctly, when you do

(a_x, a_y) .. controls +(x1,y1) and +(x2,y2) .. (b_x, b_y)

the two control points will be placed at (a_x+x1, a_y+y1) and (b_x+x2, b_y+y2), respectively.
