To add to the above:
You need to create a mental separation between the transition in your gaze along the runway length, and the sidestick inputs you make to initiate the flare.
If you set up your visual reference for landing at 50’ (say), but don’t touch the sidestick just yet, you’ll put yourself in a position where you can judge the closure rate over more time.
This is not about fixating on the stop end, or any one point in particular, but rather taking your gaze away from the TDZ, which would have been your reference hitherto.
The A320 is a funny old thing. Same hand movements 10 times in a row yield 10 different landings. Find a technique that gives you the references you need to assess the closure rate, then give yourself enough time before the flare to make use of them.
