Top opportunity

Hold the approach angle

The one change that would have gained the most on this flight, and the guide passage for it.

Preparing for a stable approach will give you time to decide on whether to attempt the landing or going around. Too much altitude with a high sink rate will result in carrying too much speed onto the runway. Configuring flaps and the gear late also won't help the speed decay.
