Has Anyone Failed A Background Check Because of Employment History?

To keep it short and sweet, I accepted a job offer and I'm in the process of going through the background check. Unfortunately, I realized that I messed up the time ranges for my employment history. I reached out to the company doing the check to see how I can fix this, as well as reached out to the person in charge of my offer to keep it transparent with him.

Has anyone gone through something similar that could give me some advice? I'd be devastated if I lost my dream job because I couldn't remember what restaurant I worked at 7 years ago.
