The three-dimensional harmonic oscillator Cartesian wave functions that you found in Prob. 4.46 are simultaneous eigenfunctions of H and parity (i.e., r →-r), but they are not also simultaneous eigenfunctions of L' and Lz. However, we know that it's possible to construct eigenfunctions of H for the 3D harmonic oscillator that are also eigenfunctions of L, Lz, and parity. Combine the Gaussian factors that appear in your Prob. 4.46 eigenfunctions into a function of r that is independent of θ...
