Are they asking you to update the resume you submitted? If not, I would let the sleeping dog lie. Does Hire Right provide you with a form to fill out? Let Google bring it up. Did they expect you to refrain from taking a pick-up job? Explain it that way. You took a pick-up job in the interim, but remain focused on Google.

I’d be careful leaving anything out. Background checks are usually about verifying what you did list, but if they find a gap or recent employment not disclosed, it might raise questions. I’ve seen people list the new job with dates and just explain it was a short transition. Transparency usually saves headaches later.
As far as I know, unless explicitly asked for your full and complete employment history, I think it’s fine. For general background checks, they are just making sure all the jobs and dates are correct that you put on there. That all being said, I don’t know Google's process.
For a background check, I would include your current employer. I don’t think the fact that it’s not on your resume is an issue, but if you exclude it from a background check, that could be a flag.
it will not cause issues, they can only verify what you provide
I would personally just leave it off if I were you. I'm pretty sure they only verify what you put and many employees don't include EVERY employer esp short term ones.

Agree with this
I recently went through the process, do NOT omit your current employer. Google values transparency more than anything
