Great job on this! I could still tell what you meant in your original sentence. You are doing well :)
It took him 3 years to dawn on himfor him to realize that what did he do wrong.
"dawn on him" is usually used when someone comes to a realization in the present moment. For example, "It dawned on him that what he did was wrong." This expression might not work if its talking about a gradual realization over three years.

Careful! I think you got focused too hard on the vocab issue and missed the end of the sentence. The "what did he do wrong" is still not right with this change. It should be "to realize what he did wrong" or "to realize that what he did was wrong" (depending on what the intended meaning is).
