Do you have them separated for now? I always start out with a foster in a separate ex-pen for several reasons - the possibility of bringing in a disease, also it allows my kids to get used to the "presence" of the new foster. During the time they are separated and even afterwards I'll spend extra time with my more sensitive boy letting him know he's still he's still well-loved and this makes him feel more secure. Reno usually by then, accepts the new foster even if he doesn't just love them. And, he may never love them but as long as he respects their space and is tolerant, I'm okay with that.....just NO fighting!
This method has always worked for me and as time goes on, I've had more fosters, Reno has been here longer and with each one he seems less sensitive and less threatened by the fosters existence here.
