Reduce your height at the threshold
Even a modest height error carries straight through to the touchdown. Geometry alone says that crossing the threshold 10 feet high on a 3° path moves your touchdown roughly 190 feet further down the runway before the flare adds anything.

The threshold, the flare and the hold-off. The approach that led to it is the stabilisation gates below.
Two stabilised approach gates, each with seven checks, where the approach path is 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 approach, gate by gate
Side view — the last 6,732 ft of the approach.
Plan view — the first 6,732 ft of the 12,012 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
Touched down 2,727 ft past the threshold — beyond the full-score zone. The arrival was smooth.
The rest of the report
Departing from Chicago O'Hare International Airport, the Boeing 737-800 began its journey by taxiing from the parking area to the runway, a process that took 21 minutes and covered a distance of 5 nautical miles. As the aircraft lined up on runway 22L, the local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 73°F and a gentle headwind of 5 knots at 220°.
After a successful departure roll, the aircraft began its enroute climb, starting 1 mile south east of Bensenville, Illinois. The climb phase was notable for its steep ascent, reaching an altitude of 35,521 feet in just 19 minutes, covering a distance of 103 nautical miles. The aircraft then entered a level cruise phase, lasting 29 minutes and covering 567 nautical miles, before beginning its descent towards Denver International Airport. The descent phase was characterized by a series of level cruises, with the aircraft descending from 36,001 feet to 11,016 feet in 18 minutes, covering 99 nautical miles.
As the aircraft approached Denver International Airport, it began its final approach to runway 35R, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The landing was successful, with the aircraft touching down 1,392 feet beyond the touchdown zone at a speed of 148 knots. The total landing distance was 6,497 feet, 54% of the runway length. Following the landing, the aircraft taxied to the parking area, a process that took 10 minutes and covered 2 nautical miles. The total flight distance was 842 nautical miles, and the aircraft used 14,844 pounds of fuel during the journey.
The Boeing 737-800 touched down on runway 35R at KDEN Denver International Airport with a score of 83.0%. The aircraft approached the runway from the south, heading 1.0° at 4 nautical miles and 1,297 feet above ground level. The approach quality was satisfactory, but the threshold height at 84 feet above ground level was significantly above the target, indicating a slightly higher than ideal approach path angle.
The aircraft touched down 1,392 feet beyond the touchdown zone, with a touchdown speed of 148 knots, which was a little fast. However, the touchdown rate of -193 feet per minute was good, indicating a controlled descent. The runway touchdown alignment was perfect, with the aircraft centered on the runway. The local weather conditions were favorable, with a temperature of 61°F and a gentle wind of 3 knots at 40°, resulting in a 2-knot headwind and a negligible crosswind.
The total landing distance was 6,497 feet, which accounted for 54% of the runway length. The runway rollout alignment was slightly misaligned by 41 feet from the centreline, indicating a minor deviation from the desired path. Overall, the landing was satisfactory, with some minor deviations from the ideal performance.
