So here is my idea for a list?

Ocellaris Clownfish 1 or 2

Firefish

Six Line Wrasse

Royal Gramma Basslet or a Bicolor Dottyback

Yellowtail Damselfish I know this are considered semi aggressive. If I add this fish last would I still be ok?

Goby with a Shrimp pair

and a CUC package

Le me know what you think
 
Probably fine, however the firefish may get bullied, lots of aggression on that list. damsels/clowns, dottybacks, and a sixline are all pretty high on the aggression scale. But you see lists like that for tanks that size without issue all the time.
 
the bicolor dottyback is very aggressive, you're much better off with the royal gramma or an orchid dottyback.

six line wrasses have a reputation for becoming extremely aggressive as they age, although some people seem to luck out and get one that doesn't end up killing other fish. A pink streaked wrasse or one of the 3 possum wrasses are much more peaceful.

most of the damsels from the genus Chrysiptera are more peaceful than other damsels. You should be fine with a yellow tail or azure damsel.

otherwise you seem fine. Stick with occ clowns (don't get clarkiis or maroons). Don't get a firefish if you get any of the aggressive fish you listed, they are easily bullied (and stick to just one firefish because they kill each other).

if I could make some recommendations - consider a tailspot blenny, wonderful personality and useful in terms of eating algae. other fish I'd recommend include a long nosed hawkfish or a pygmy geometric perchlet
 
I choose the pink streaked wrasse over the Six Line for the aggression that the six line might cause . My pink wrasse is by far the most easiest going fish in my tank he has shown zero aggression towards any other fish. Even during feed he just waits his turn.
 
That firefish will be bullied to death with those tank mates. Personally I would skip the sixline and the dottyback as they are notorious for their aggression and I wouldn't put a Damsel in a relatively small cube either.

Here is what I would do:

Clowns

Possum or Pink Streaked Wrasse

Royal Gramma Basslet

Goby and Shrimp

Either a Blenny or a Geometric Pygmy Hawkfish
 
I would go for a single clown, watchman/pistol, and stay away from the six line!
