Is it this or is it "how constructs lower to compiler/OS/hardware work".

I believe the original is correct. "Constructs" in this case can be interpreted as a plural noun which essentially means "things in the language", and "lower" is the verb, which essentially means translated. "Lowering" is a term used in compilers when translating from a higher-level representation to a lower-level one.
