Isn't this why you're not here?

The subject - this.
The predicate - isn't.
Why you'rte not here - complement.

I think you are trying to say this: Isn't this why you are here?

The subject "this" is singular, so you must use "is". It does not matter whether it's a question or statement: This is not ... Is this not? (or Isn't this...?) ... Question or statement, before or after the noun, it's the same rule

That does not have the same meaning as your original question, so I will say no, don't say it like that. There is only one reason why "you are here (or not??)", so you must say "Isn't this (Is this not) .... ?"
