Unfortunately this is one of those problems that pretty much just needs to be worked through carefully with cases.

Of course the symmetry of a cube can come into play when counting the different cases, but also when thinking through whether you missed any cases.

I won't totally spoil the problem as it's good to think and worry about, but I will say there are not that many cases you actually have to consider.
