That sentence is fine as it is, but if you wanted to be super grammatical about it, it would read, "I'm not sure whether or not I understand this correctly."
You can also totally rephrase it to make it sound more casual if that's what you're looking for,
"I don't think I get it."
"I'm not sure I'm understanding this right." (sometimes, at least where I live, people replace "correctly" with "right" but only if it's at the end of a sentence)

"I'm not sure I understand this correctly" sounds quite natural, but it's usually followed by a summary of what you think the other person is saying in the form of a question (indicating that you are asking for confirmation or correction).
It can also be used to indicate you are in disbelief (you're a little shocked that the other person would make such a statement or request and you're questioning whether you may have misunderstood). Similar in meaning to "Let me get this straight..."
Example: "I'm not sure I understand this correctly... you want me to go the store and buy you a rubber duck and a purple balloon?"
You could also just say something like:
"I'm confused"
"I'm a little confused"
"I don't understand"
"I don't quite understand"
"I'm not sure I understand"
"Can you explain that again?"
