After the instance is attached to the Private Network, you will see the MAC address of the additional interface:

If you log into your instance, a new interface will be visible.

Repeat the operation for each instance you want to join the Private Network. Some operating systems, such as OpenBSD, will require a reboot for the new network interface to appear.
