"언제 갈 수 있을지 모르겠다"
가는 것 자체(갈지 안갈지, go or not go)가 분명하지 않습니다. 따라서 가는 때(언제, when)가 언제인지도 역시 모릅니다.
"언제 갈 수 있는지 모르겠다"
반드시 가는 것(갑니다. go)입니다. 다만, 가는 때(언제, when)를 모릅니다.
한국어로 설명해서 이해하실 수 있을는지 모르겠네요. 영어로 번역해야 하나.

So, basically the major difference between those two sentences is that the 1st sentence 언제 갈수 있을지 모르겠다 shows you're not sure going there. ( you could either make it or not)
The 2nd sentence ( 언제 갈수 있는지 모르겠다) is that more specific than the 1st sentence. Mostly, you could use the 2nd sentence when you are in the middle of something or something just happened to you when you feel like being late.
- You don't need to tell the difference between those two sentences, though. We can understand what you're saying either way.
