Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

It is permissible for you to marry your maternal grandfathers step brothers daughter. Allah Ta’ala mentions in the Quran after mentioning all those females with whom marriage is not permissible (Muharramaat): [i]

And lawful to you are all others (females) beyond these (Muharramaat)

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best

وقال في الفتح وفروع أجداده وجداته لبطن واحد فلهذا تحرم العمات والخالات وتحل بنات العمات والأعمام والخالات والأخوال – قلت حاصله أن حرمت فروع الأجداد والجدات مقصورة على البطن الأول لا تتجاوز إلى البطن الثاني فلا تحرم بنت عم الأب لكونها من البطن الثاني لأن بطن الاول من فروع أب الجد هو عم الأب
