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.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway.
Side view — the last 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the full 5,000 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 806 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
While your overall aircraft landing score was 75.9%, there are definitely areas where you excelled and areas where improvement is needed.
Let's start with the Approach Phase. Your unstable glideslope alignment, poor heading alignment, and slightly below target speed are areas that can be improved upon with more practice and focus. Make sure to pay close attention to your instruments and adjust as needed to maintain a stable approach.
Moving on to the Landing Phase, your below target threshold height and very poor landing flare and heading indicate a need for more attention to detail during this critical phase of flight. Focus on maintaining a smooth and controlled descent, flare at the appropriate time, and ensure proper alignment with the runway centerline.
However, in the Touchdown Phase, your excellent touchdown rate is definitely a highlight of your performance. Additionally, landing with a 17 kn crosswind requires skill and precision, so kudos to you for handling that challenge well.
Overall, this landing was a mixed bag of good and not-so-good elements. Use this feedback to focus on improving your approach stability, landing technique, and heading alignment for future flights. With dedication and practice, you can continue to enhance your skills and achieve even better scores in the future. Keep up the good work and strive for continual improvement in your flying abilities!
