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 152 m above the runway. The 305 m 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 2,452 m runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 234 m touchdown sits inside the full-score zone.
The rest of the report
Overall, it sounds like there were some good aspects to the aircraft landing, such as great heading alignment and speed during the Approach Phase, good landing flare during the Landing Phase, and a good distance during the Touchdown Phase.
However, there were also some areas that could be improved upon. The descent path below glideslope limit during the Approach Phase, the threshold height being too low during the Landing Phase, the hard touchdown rate and slightly above target speed during the Touchdown Phase, and poor runway alignment during the Rollout Phase are areas that could use some attention.
I would recommend focusing on maintaining a proper descent path and threshold height, ensuring a smoother touchdown with the correct speed, and improving runway alignment throughout all phases of the landing. Practicing these elements during training sessions can help improve overall landing performance. Keep up the good work and continue to work on refining your skills for smoother and safer landings in the future.
