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 5,000 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 5,000 ft of the 10,985 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 951 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, your aircraft landing score of 85.2% shows that you performed well in several key areas during the landing process. Your approach phase had some issues with glideslope alignment and speed, but with some practice and focus, you can improve on these aspects.
During the landing phase, you had a good threshold height and a very good landing flare, which are both essential components of a successful landing. However, it's important to work on maintaining better bank angle stability to ensure a smoother touchdown.
In the touchdown phase, your touchdown rate was firm, but your speed was on target and you were able to touch down inside the touchdown zone, which is commendable. You were also able to land relatively close to the centerline, showing good control and precision during this phase.
Lastly, in the rollout phase, your runway alignment was slightly off, but only by a small margin. With a bit more attention to detail and practice, you can improve on this aspect as well.
Overall, you should feel encouraged by your 85.2% score, as it shows that you have a solid foundation in many areas of aircraft landing. By focusing on improving your glideslope alignment, bank angle stability, and runway alignment, you can continue to enhance your skills and strive for even higher scores in the future. Keep up the good work and continue to practice, and you will see improvements in no time.
