We do not know what that is. Where is the example data? See the posting 
guide.

Which? Where is the reproducible code? See the posting guide.

PCA is a method for reduction of dimensions. Frequently, if reduction 
works nicely, you can find clusters when plotting the first few PCs. But 
"plot them [clusters] in a PCA" is semantically invalid.

Tells us how you clustered the data and how you visualized it so far and 
we may be able to show you how to go ahead.

But really, read the posting guide in advance of follow up questions: It 
helps to improve the way you ask questions and hence you will probably 
get more useful answers.
