Hello...
You can say “Is there some person I didn’t come to with the plate that had their hands up” or “Is there some person who I didn’t come to with the plate that had their hands up.”
BUT sounds like a long and complicated sentence and it's hard to understand! I would rephrase it completely.
How about:
"Did I come to everyone with the plate who had their hands up?"
(Hand up? - one, or both? Usually if you are putting your hand up to signal for attention, it is just one hand and the expression is to "put your hand up.")
What are the people doing with the plate? I am wondering how you could say this more clearly.
"Did everyone who had their hand up receive a plate?" or "Did everyone who wanted a plate receive one?"
I don't know the context of this, so if you can explain more, it will be easier to help you find a clear way of saying what you mean.
