What went well

Touched down at -169 fpm — a soft arrival
Threshold crossed at 40 ft and 150 kt — both inside band
Straight touchdown — 1.0 ft off the centreline, no bounce

What held you back

Enroute Descent — 250 kt exceeded below 10,000 ft; speed limits at 93 %, −0.18 points
Arrival Landing — Flare profile at 92 %, −0.08 points
Arrival Touchdown — Touchdown distance was 1,736 ft at 92 %, −0.07 points

Next time

Slow the descent speed

See Enroute Descent

Below 10,000 ft you are typically limited to 250 kt indicated (a US rule that much of the world mirrors in some form, though not universally). This forces a deceleration around 10,000 ft whether the profile wants one or not, so plan for it rather than discovering it.
