- We consider how the recent CMS measurements of the masses and quantum numbers of $X(6600)$, $X(6900)$ and $X(7100)$ can help to reveal the internal structure of these apparent $cc\bar{c}\bar{c}$ tetraquark states. The measured $J^{PC} = 2^{++}$ quantum numbers of $X(6600)$ are consistent with our previous prediction, and imply the existence of lighter $0^{++}$ partner $X(6400)$ which also decays to $J/ψJ/ψ$. There may already be indications for this scalar partner in the recent CMS data fits, which include a Breit-Wigner peak with mass around 6400~MeV. We give predictions for the masses and decay properties of the scalar and other partner states, which are key experimental tests to discriminate between quark and diquark models. We urge closer experimental scrutiny in this mass region, to establish an S-wave multiplet of $cc \bar c \bar c$ states (the first of its kind), leading to a breakthrough in exotic hadron research and our understanding of exclusively heavy quark exotics.
