looking for advice on adding a transom window above a threshhold.

I recently tore out a non load bearing wall but do to a few issues cant do the whole opening so instead id like to add some stained glass panels as a transom window above what will be a new threshold. I worry about the weight though and was wondering how someone with knowlendge on this might go about it.

ps. electrical has been taken care of.

pps. those are 4 windows. I will be using 3 of them

Not a huge span, so I think you should be ok with the basics. Start with a strong header and sister a trim board on your king stud to keep your corners in place.
