Arrival
Take the power back earlier on final, so the aircraft settles onto the path and the speed comes back to 137 kt together. Do not push down for the height: that only adds speed.
What happened: You crossed the threshold at 72 ft agl, 22 ft agl above the 50 ft agl target, and at 151 kt, 14 kt over the 137 kt threshold speed. High and fast together is energy the runway has to absorb, and this touchdown came 691 m beyond the aim point.
Watch for: Airspeed indicator: 137 kt on short final, then 50 ft agl over the threshold
Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.
At the 1,000 ft gate: centreline 1.1° off, against a 1° limit.
At the 500 ft gate: centreline 1.2° off, against a 1° limit.
The approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 2,178 m of the approach.
Plan view — the first 2,178 m of the 3,684 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 1,148 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
The Airbus A350-900 taxied from the parking area to runway 28 at LSZH Zürich Airport in 2 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
During the departure roll on runway 28, the aircraft accelerated to a takeoff distance of 1,147 m, representing 46 % of the runway, and rotated at 149 kt; ambient temperature was 16 °C with a wind of 4 kt from 240°, a 3 kt cross-wind component and a 4 kt head-wind component.
Climb commenced over Rumlang in the canton of Zurich, rising from 2,320 ft asl to 7,971 ft asl-a gain of 5,651 ft-in 4 minutes while covering 14 nm.
Cruise began 1 mile west of Villmergen in the canton of Aargau and continued for 8 minutes, during which the aircraft flew 28 nm at level flight.
Descent started over Woelflinswil, also in Aargau, descending from 7,997 ft asl to 2,615 ft asl, a loss of 5,382 ft in 7 minutes and covering 27 nm.
The final approach to runway 16 at LSZH involved a descent from 1,263 ft agl to 96 ft agl in 95 seconds, and the aircraft was recorded as having scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 16, which is 3,684 m long, occurred with a threshold height of 72 ft agl and a threshold speed of 152 kt, both noted as above target; touchdown was achieved 730 m beyond the touchdown zone at 142 kt with a smooth vertical speed of minus 123 fpm and very good alignment.
Runway rollout covered a total landing distance of 2,054 m, representing 56 % of the runway, and the alignment during rollout was described as very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking stand in 1 minute, again covering less than 1 nm.
In total, the flight covered 76 nm, lasted 27 minutes, and consumed 2,249 kg of fuel.
