Your diagram above appears to show a vertical axis. As I understand the question, the cube is swinging backwards and forwards under gravity.

I couldn't draw it upside down but it just a illustration how the system moves

One of the problems with posting images of working, in violation of the guidelines, is that others cannot easily reference specific lines in it.

In your energy conservation equation, how do you get $\frac 43\sqrt 2$ for the vertical displacement?
