I've got a little problem

[slickwid]

So I had to quickly take apart and clean my 3x3 cube that I got when I purchased the Cube3 magic trick. So it's not one of the official Rubik's Cube, and so the way they have it setup is only some of the colors on each side are removable in the form of caps with a colored sticker on it. There are four center caps and then different numbers of caps per side can be removed. The white side only has one removable cap, other sides have only three that come off one has four and one has five caps. What I'm left with after are the individual cube sections, each with one of the sides open for the appropriate colored cap. I didn't pay attention to which colors are supposed to go where, and I figured if I just solve one side at a time and replace the missing caps, that it would fix the cube and I mistakenly thought it would just be solvable. So I need to know if a anyone might know how I could figure out where the colored caps go so I can use my cube again. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance!

If your cube has a standard color scheme, you can just google some cube pictures and look how the colors are there.
The normal color scheme is like that
Top: Yellow,
Bottom: White
Sides: Green, Orange, Blue, Red (from left to right)

If you dont have the standard color scheme, you can see it if you look at the corners.

Cube3 magic trick does not sound like a good speedcube.

Just buy a good 3x3. I suggest MoYu Weilong or Gan cube.

Yeah, but I spent 75 bucks with shipping and tax, so I'd like to not just throw it out. I was considering getting the moyu weilong one that connects via Bluetooth cause I figured having the ability to look at moves I made, or having the ability to have the solution mapped out for me might be good for honing my skills. But that's another 60 bucks or so.

The reason it's so hard for me to figure out is because the way the cube is made is that it has two permanent non removable stickers on all the pieces (except for the center ones of course) and one of the stickers is on a removable cap piece, and each side has differing amounts of pieces that have the removable caps. The white side only has one, the center removable cap to get at the tension adjustment screw, and say like the blue side has five pieces with the removable caps, with differing amounts of the removable caps on each of the other sides of it. I guess I could start by building it with all the white pieces on the white side, then build the rest on their respective sides and then fill in with the caps. That will probably work.

Sure it sounds possible.

Good luck getting your main cube.

Forgive me bluntness but that sounds like a sunken cost fallacy.
I Googled this cube and it seems you bought a low quality overpriced magic prop rather than a speed cube.
A good 5-dollar cube from a speed cube shop should be an improvement.
