I have a feeling this is more likely the issue here: you are scared to go low before you initiate the flare. From that point of view I advice new pilots as well to keep their eyes focused on the aiming point until they really want to start the flare, and only then quickly shift to the end of the runway. In training this means sometimes the flare is "forced", or "late" resulting in a positive touchdown, but that isn't a bad thing. It's a safe landing. Once you have that habit of "keeping it coming down", you can shift to end of the runway earlier and get a smoother flare.
If you don't shift to the end of the runway, you can't "see" your rate of descent during the flare. A flare while looking at the aiming point is nothing more than guesstimating your descent rate based on how quickly the numbers 30-20-10 change. I wouldn't call that correct technique.
shift to the end of the rwy. Enters dubrovnik, manchester… in the chat, where you land and only can see a hump at 1/4 of the rwy which if you land past that, bye bye
