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 1,999 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 1,999 m of the 4,864 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,336 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, congratulations on achieving a landing score of 77.4%! While there were some areas that could be improved upon, there were also aspects of your landing that were executed very well.
In the Approach Phase, it is important to focus on maintaining a proper descent path to stay within the glideslope limit. This will help ensure a smoother transition into the Landing Phase.
During the Landing Phase, it is crucial to pay attention to the threshold height and landing flare. It seems that in this instance, the threshold height was excessively over target and the landing flare was very poor. By working on these areas, you can improve the overall quality of your landings.
In the Touchdown Phase, it is great to hear that your touchdown rate was on target and your speed was consistent. However, it is important to focus on touchdown point accuracy to avoid landing too far beyond the designated zone. Additionally, maintaining a good runway touchdown position is key for a successful landing.
Finally, in the Rollout Phase, it appears that the runway alignment was slightly off from the centerline. This is an area that can be improved upon with practice and attention to detail.
Overall, your landing score of 77.4% shows that you are on the right track. By focusing on areas such as descent path, threshold height, landing flare, touchdown point accuracy, and runway alignment, you can continue to improve and further enhance your landing skills. Keep up the good work and keep striving for excellence in every phase of the landing process. You're doing great and with dedication and practice, you will surely see even better results in the future. Great job!
