not sure if I understand correctly vs not sure if I understood correctly

Both phrases are correct, but 'Not sure if I understand correctly' is used when expressing uncertainty about one's current understanding, while 'Not sure if I understood correctly' is used when questioning a past understanding. The choice depends on the timing of the uncertainty.
