If you want the backing vocals to surround the lead vocal you need to record each part twice on separate mono tracks and pan the doubled tracks left and right. You can also use a stereo chorus on a mono track and pan the output left and right for a surround effect. A combination of both works great for a stacked group vocal sound.
