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 5,124 ft runway, to the same scale as the side view.
The 1,271 ft touchdown sits inside the full-score zone. The 1.88 G arrival is the firm side of smooth.
The rest of the report
Overall, you did a great job during the Approach Phase by maintaining good heading alignment and maintaining target speed. However, there was room for improvement in descent path above glideslope limit.
During the Landing Phase, your threshold height was a bit high but you executed a great landing flare. The Touchdown Phase had its ups and downs with a hard touchdown rate and high speed, but the distance and runway alignment were very good.
Moving forward, I recommend focusing on improving your descent path during the Approach Phase and practicing softer touchdown rates and lower speeds during the Touchdown Phase. Keep up the good work on maintaining runway alignment throughout all the phases. With some adjustments, you'll continue to improve and become even more confident in your landings. Great job overall!
