What am I missing ... ?

Is the the sentence below grammatically correct or not?

If my friend gave me a 8.5 out of 10 after I asked him: from a scale of 1 to 10 how much would you give me judging by how beautiful am I to you?

How can I say the following sentence as a reply to his judgement ?
" What am I missing in your judgement from becoming a 10? "

Is the question above grammatically correct ?

I am assuming it is the second sentence that you are asking about:
“What am I missing in your judgement from becoming a 10?”
The grammar is OK, but the wording is a little awkward.
I would prefer:
“What am I missing, in your judgement, that I need to become a 10?”
or
“What is preventing me, in your judgement, from becoming a 10?”

Was what I wrote wrong, or are you giving me a simpler version of what I wrote?

The first two changes are corrections; the rest is simplification.

A simpler reply is eg Why didn't you give me a 10?

Abdulla AbdulAziz Al-hhow beautiful am I to you?
If you are referring to your physical appearance and you are a male, you have chosen the wrong word. A man would ask how handsome he looks, not how beautiful. In this context, "good-looking" can apply to both males and females.

— How [handsome / good-looking] do you think I am on a scale of
