Shorten the long landing
Ground effect becomes significant below about one wingspan of height. A Cessna 172, with a 36 ft span, enters ground effect at flare height - the float it feels in the hold-off is ground effect arriving on cue. An A320, with a span around 117 ft, has been in ground effect since before the threshold and there is no sudden cushion to feel, only a gradual reduction in induced drag that lengthens any float you allow.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
One stabilised approach gate: five checks where the approach path is 500 ft above the runway. The 1,000 ft gate was not assessed, because the approach did not join final that far out.
Side view — the last 1,524 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,524 m of the 3,219 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 321 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Overall, it sounds like there were some areas for improvement in the approach and touchdown phases of the aircraft landing. However, there were some positives such as good heading alignment and landing flare.
To improve the approach phase, it is important to focus on maintaining the correct descent path and speed to stay within glideslope limits. Additionally, adjusting speed during the touchdown phase can help prevent a heavy touchdown rate and excessive speed.
In order to improve runway alignment during the rollout phase, it may be helpful to practice more precision in steering the aircraft. This will help ensure a smoother landing and decrease the chances of bouncing upon touchdown.
Overall, with some practice and attention to detail in each phase of the landing, you can improve the overall performance of the aircraft landing. Keep practicing and adjusting as needed to achieve a smoother and more controlled landing in the future. You got this!
