Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
As I think about the recording, I think I did end up (would have to confirm, though) using the same reverb on his main and harmony vocals but a different one on the echo vocal. I think the bigger issue is that he did three different takes of the main vocal at different positions to the mic and different volumes so I couldn't eq them to sound similar. I told him we needed to redo it with one take - or multiple without position changing - but he didn't want to redo anything...

Oh yeah. I didn't think about that.

Yeah, the three different takes would have three different natural reverbs already. Blah.

You might try using impulse reverb to fix it.

Impulse reverb takes an impulse recording, usually an audio file of a finger snap or some other short, sharp sound, and uses the echoes to reconstruct the environment in which the snap was recorded.

It would take a lot of effort though. You would need to:
-figure out how to use impulse reverb.
-set up a microphone at each of the three locations where he did the recordings.
-record a finger snap at each of the three locations, approximately where his mouth was relative to the microphone when he was singing.
-apply each of the three reverbs to every track except the vocal recording that you recorded the finger snap for.
-probably ditch your existing reverb, because that would wind up being just way too much reverb for one track.

Also I don't know if it would actually work. I've never tried anything like that before myself.

But I mention it as a possibility, if you have just a whole lot of energy and time and want to tackle it. There are some good free impulse reverb plugins you can try.
