Losing landing ability and confidence

Hello everyone ,

I am currently an atpl integrated student pilot with around 60 hours of flight time .
I was training on the diamond da 40 plane and got 50 hours on it , and my landings were pretty much most times good .
Recently due to mechanical issues with the diamond , i had to switch to a cessna 172 for my hour building flying phase . I now have almost 10 hours on the c172 which are mostly added up from cruising between airports and landing once a day , and the landings are bad now , and i have to say that i feel that i returned to zero with my flaring abilities and this is making me lose my landing confidence and flare judging ability .
My other fear is when i return to the da40 i would have lost my landing ability in it too .
Since now im already in the hour building phase ,,scheduling touch and gos would be difficult , and i think that im running out of time in my training to be good at landings again . .
Is it normal to still do many bad landings with this flight time experience ?
What do you think guys ?
Any training stories from other students are welcome .

Thanks in advance .
