It is attached to the stem of an action verb or a descriptive verb to represent the cause of a negative result. You should include a negative cause that has already been completed in the antecedent clause.

If the syllable of the stem of an action verb or a descriptive verb ends with ‘ㅏ or ㅗ’ you should use ‘-았던 탓에’. If it ends with another vowel(ㅓ, ㅜ, ㅡ, ㅣ) you use ‘-었던 탓에’. When it ends with ‘하-‘, you should use ‘-였던 탓에(했던 탓에)’.
