What have your trainers suggested? What about your landings during base training? On what do you feel weak?
Honestly I find more difficult to land a very light plane, this because I got used to high payloads which are the norm, when I flew almost empty planes I ended up floating.
The advices I was given during my training were to start looking more outside than inside at around 500’ latest, at 50’ positively move my sight towards half - 3/4 runway and feel the closure rate. What I was warned from day one, was never do a two stage flare, like a small input at 50’ and the flare at 30’, by doing this you could waste some runway. Regarding thrust normally it should be closed very close to the beginning of the flare, but this changes due to environment/weight. Landings are something you develop by doing many times, don’t overthink too much and enjoy. Congrats for starting Airbus.

PS be careful on the seating position and try to stick to FCTM guidance
