Improve the touchdown
There are several things that can go wrong during the flare, carrying too much speed over the threshold, starting the flare at the wrong height and inconsistent flight control inputs, all contribute to a poor flare resulting in a hard touchdown or a float down the runway.

Two stabilised approach gates, each with six checks at 1,000 ft and 500 ft above the runway. They are the approach's score: the checks passed out of the checks that ran.

The rest of the report
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 taxied from the parking area to the departure runway in 6 minutes, covering less than 1 nm.
Takeoff was executed on runway 33 at PANC Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. The aircraft used 6,419 ft of runway, representing 62 % of the available length, and lifted off at 167 kt. Ambient temperature was 57 °F with a wind of 2 kt from 110°, a 2 kt crosswind component and a 1 kt tailwind component.
The initial climb began 2 mi north-west of PALH Lake Hood Seaplane Base, Anchorage. The airplane ascended from 958 ft asl to 35,006 ft asl, a gain of 34,048 ft achieved in 21 minutes while covering 147 nm.
Level cruise commenced 6 mi south-east of AK30 Strawberry Point Airport, Cordova, and persisted for 199 minutes, during which 1,610 nm were flown.
A second climb started 21 mi north of KJAC Jackson Hole Airport, Jackson. The aircraft rose from 35,006 ft asl to 37,023 ft asl, an increase of 2,017 ft in 3 minutes, covering 28 nm.
The subsequent cruise segment began 13 mi north of WY30 Kinky Creek Divide Airport, Dubois, and lasted 25 minutes, traversing 216 nm.
Descent began 4 mi south of WY11 A Bar A Ranch Airstrip, Encampment. The airplane descended from 36,982 ft asl to 6,694 ft asl, a loss of 30,288 ft over 21 minutes, covering 124 nm.
Final approach to runway 17R at KDEN Denver International Airport was conducted from the north, on a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm and 1,305 ft agl. The approach descended from 1,340 ft agl to 55 ft agl in 83 seconds and was scored on the stabilisation gates.
Landing on runway 17R, which is 12,008 ft long, occurred with a threshold speed slightly above target at 154 kt. Touchdown was recorded 368 ft beyond the touchdown zone, at a speed of 148 kt, with a touchdown rate of minus 271 fpm; runway alignment was perfect. Local weather reported a temperature of 75 °F, wind 6 kt from 120°, a 5 kt crosswind component and a 3 kt headwind component. Total landing distance was 5,973 ft, representing 50 % of the runway.
Runway rollout alignment was very good.
The aircraft taxied from the runway to the parking area in 7 minutes, covering 2 nm.
In total, the flight covered 2,139 nm, required 284 minutes of airborne time, and consumed 22,932 lb of fuel.
The Boeing 737 MAX 8 conducted the final approach to runway 17R at KDEN from the north, tracking a heading of 181.0° at 4 nm and 1,305 ft agl. The approach was assessed as unstable at the 1,000 ft gate because the sink rate was too high, and the aircraft descended from 1,340 ft agl to 55 ft agl in 83 seconds, with the stabilisation gates scored accordingly.
At threshold the aircraft maintained a good threshold height, but the threshold speed was slightly above target at 154 kt.
Touchdown occurred 368 ft beyond the touchdown zone with a speed of 148 kt, described as a little fast, and the vertical rate was fair at minus 271 fpm. Runway touchdown alignment was perfect.
The rollout covered a total landing distance of 5,973 ft, representing 50 % of the 12,008-ft runway, and runway rollout alignment was very good.
The 75.2 % score reflects solid performance; reducing the sink rate to achieve a stable approach and trimming speed to the target will help place the touchdown within the zone and further improve the rating.
