Since you don't have a recording of the interview, you have no real way of "proving" that the interviewer failed to correct the mistake s/he said they would. So what you do is just describe what happened in a cover letter you send with the I-90. The cover letter is how they will know what the mistake is.

If they don't want to take your word in the cover letter (fairly unlikely, in my opinion) they could, in principle, call you down to their office, put you under oath, and have you describe the situation. That is the absolute worst case scenario (again, quite unlikely, I think) and that is how you would "prove" what happened, if you had to.

DON'T PANIC

Well technically it is your mistake. They failed to correct YOUR mistake but it's still your mistake, not theirs.

Your only hope is to send a copy of your birth certificate, and a copy of your passport, and visa with the birth date highlighted and hope they accept that they should have checked your supporting documents... but be prepared for them to say "you wrote it wrong, pay up and we'll fix it" (though honestly I think they'll just accept that they shouldn't have trusted what you wrote on the forms and checked your docs).

If you read the I-90 instructions it tells you to include information supporting the error. You would highlight your birth certificate etc but you would also include a cover letter stating the birth date is wrong and what documents you've included to show that.
