Three mutually tangent spheres each with radius $5$ sit on a horizontal plane. A triangular pyramid has a base that is an equilateral triangle with side length $6$, has three congruent isosceles triangles for vertical faces, and has height $12$. The base of the pyramid is parallel to the plane, and the vertex of the pyramid is pointing downward so that it is between the base and the plane. Each of the three vertical faces of the pyramid is tangent to one of the spheres at a point on the triangular face along its altitude from the vertex of the pyramid to the side of length $6$. The distance that these points of tangency are from the base of the pyramid is $\tfrac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
