Need a help to improve my writing

Thank you so much. I would like to ask about the combined word. What is the rule to make the combined word like high-ranking? There are several words in the same form like built-in, so-called, hands-on.

There are many situations in which hyphenation is needed. In the above, we need to hyphenate the adjective "high-ranking" because it functions as a single unit.
