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 2,059 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 401 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.88 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, you did a great job with the Approach Phase, the Landing Phase, and the Touchdown Phase of the aircraft landing. Your heading alignment and speed were on target, and you had a good threshold height and landing flare. Despite some instability during landing and a heavy touchdown rate, you were able to maintain a good distance and runway alignment.
Moving forward, I recommend focusing on maintaining a steady descent path within glideslope limits and practicing to reduce touchdown rates for smoother landings. Additionally, continue to work on improving runway alignment during the Rollout Phase to further enhance your overall landing performance. Keep up the good work and stay focused on continuous improvement in each phase of the landing process. Well done on successfully handling a 15 knot crosswind during the landing!
