My phone screen, it was asked "have you ever failed a checkride?"

You won't fill it out at the interview, you'll fill it out before they even call. That's where it's SPECIFICALLY asked about the last 5 years.
I failed the oral portion of my initial CFI 12 years ago, and answered "YES" on the phone screen. On the NHPS form I answered "NO" to the question about any failures in the last 5 years, because the CFI is the only failure I have.
The CFI failure didn't even come up in my interview.
