I wasn't always sure about what he is thinking vs I am not always sure about what he was thinking

The correct phrase is "I wasn't always sure about what he is thinking." This construction uses the past tense "wasn't" to match the past tense context of the verb "is thinking." The second phrase, "I am not always sure about what he was thinking," mixes present and past tenses incorrectly.
