If the TR fixed pitch position was 100% (which I assume you mean stuck full left pedal), then it's your unlucky day. Think about it. If the TR is stuck with more left pedal than what it takes to hover IGE then it's going to get messy at the bottom (it won't be possible to get or keep it straight because using more than hover power to get it straight is just going to shoot you back up into the air). I never practice stuck left pedal when the pedal is forward of the hover position.

All TR control malfunctions the landing technique is basically the same. For loss of drive to TR the technique is always autorotation with the engine off before the bottom.
