This change will give you what you are looking for:

/^(?:[\(])?(\d*\.?\d+)\s*x\s*(\d*\.?\d+)\s*x\s*(\d*\.?\d+)\s*((?:cms?|in|inch|inches|mms?)\b|(?:[\"]))/igm

You can check here:

This is the breakdown:

  1. start at the beginning of the string ^ (or beginning of line, using the /m modifier at the end)
  2. allow ( but don't catch it (?:[\(])
  3. find a number (\d*\.?\d+) (int or float [with the dot])
  4. have the x char, with (or without) space before and after `\sx\s - support multiple spaces here
  5. have any of the supported units:
    5.1 cm, cms, in, inch, inches, mm, mms - followed by word boundry
    (?:cms?|in|inch|inches|mms?)\b
    OR
    5.2 Have the " char |(?:[\"])
