It’s hard to get pace it perfectly where I’m just around 7:00. Is 6:43 too fast? And is it okay to go a little under pace like 7:05?

I am unsure what you are asking. If you have a faster than usual tempo , there is no point in dwelling on it. But don’t set your targets on a certain pace for a tempo run, just go off of fee and analyze afterwards.
There are more variables to a workout than pace. You don't tell us what distance your average tempos are or what distance this tempo is.
In any event, every pace has its place in a training plan. But how you utilize each pace is the important detail.
If an average tempo pace of 6:43 is too fast then you're too slow!
How do you define a temp o run?

You’re not that much faster than that yourself slow poke.
I just did a tempo today at 5:30 pace. Suck it.
7 minutes is not a tempo pace. For anyone that slow, run your tempo days as fast as you you can so that you cut down pace slightly throughout.
Depends on how you feel/recover. It depends on how you determined 7:00 is actually your tempo pace.
I've been running for ages and know exactly where my tempo pace is at any given fitness level. For me, if I ever tried a tempo workout 17 seconds faster than planned, I would be fatigued/ sore for quite some time. That's massively over training. 17 seconds faster than tempo for me is slightly faster than 10K pace.
My guess is that you don't actually know what your tempo pace is.

You're focusing on the wrong thing. You want to learn what tempo effort is, and hit that consistently.

If it feels like a tempo, it's a tempo. Don't stress about it.
