If I took 7 and a half hours to schedule my interview after receiving an interview invitation, did I ruin my chance being hired?

I received an interview invite in the early afternoon today by email. However, I did not realize that I got the interview until a few hours later. When I read the invitation, I was unsure about which time slot I should pick and spent some time contemplating when I should schedule the interview. If I took 7 and a half hours to schedule my phone interview, does it negatively impact my candidacy?
