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 3,214 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 518 m past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, this was a very solid landing! Your glideslope alignment and threshold height were excellent, and your touchdown speed and distance were very good. Your landing flare was well executed, and your approach speed was right on target. However, be cautious of landing with a tailwind, as it can affect the stability of your landing. Keep up the great work on maintaining runway alignment during touchdown and rollout. With a few small adjustments, your landings will continue to improve even further. Great job!
