Quite possibly, there is a way to solve your problem in reasonable time. But you have not provided enough detail for anyone to propose a solution. You need provided the code that defines f,g and h.
And if you are literally doing
In[1]:={X, Y, Z} = {f[u, v], g[u, v], h[u, v]}
Out[1]={f[u, v], g[u, v], h[u, v]}
In[2]:={X - f[u, v], Y - g[u, v], Z - h[u, v]}
Out[2]={0, 0, 0}
It should be obvious why Mathematica cannot solve the problem
