Perform integer padding with Thunar Bulk Rename Gui?

The following image details what I'm trying to do.
It is to transform File_01_01 to File_01_001; with 3 digits at the end of the filename.

I was able to create 2 distinct capture groups with the following:

(.*)(?<!\d)(\d+)

And retrieve them with $1 $2

Hello and welcome.

If you're just looking to add a padded zero in that location:

$1 0$2

Hello and welcome.

If you're just looking to add a padded zero in that location:

$1 0$2

I wish to do something similar to the following: 
rename –n 's/(.*)(?<!\d)(\d+)/sprintf("%s%03s", $1, $2)/e' *

This can accomodate _1, _01, _001, pad 3 if need be. I do apologize for not making my post more clear.

Just adding a 0 will require me to copy and paste in multiple files at separtate time.
