The two times that a president has lost the popular vote and won the election in recent history were Bush Jr's first term in 2000 and Trump's term in 2016.
Only 3 justices were appointed during those terms, all by Trump in 2017 - 2020.
Bush Jr did appoint two justices but they were during his second term, when he won the popular vote.
The remaining four justices were appointed by Bush Sr, Clinton, and Obama (2).
So I have no idea where you are getting your figure of 7/9 from.
