Flare technique A319/320/321

Hello,

I tend to fly a huge amount of aicrafts, A319/320/321. I generally fly very well the last part of the approach keeping my aiming point stable and steady in the windscreen. At 50’ I cross the threshold with the correct rate, flown visually.
Then it start the issue. When I look a bit further (either at the runway end or a bit closer say 3/4) I have the feeling of sinking, even if nothing has changed. Probably I become a bit ground shy and start pulling a bit. Little pulls. The plane gains energy and then when I flare it basically stop descending and with idle thrust it then sinks and touches firm.
many captains tell me to wait until 30’ and then do a single flare but if I’m a bit heavy I struggle to wait until then and touch firm…
Did you ever had the same problem? I have around 500hrs on type… Can you share some advice?
