As Northsouth says, get the drills and flap selection out of the way in plenty of time.
Then TRIM OUT at your constant approach speed/steady power setting.
At the flair, where are you looking ? DON’T look at the touchdown area once you’re over the threshold. Just fly the aeroplane towards the far end of the runway. Leave the power alone and gently hold off.......hold off......hold off. As the speed decays, don’t trim any further and you will touch down ahead, close the throttle and just keep straight. When you’re happy you are still in control, GENTLY apply the brakes. Etc etc.
