You ask about additional checks worth making on final approaches for landings.
Most of your approaches will be with power down a standard 3 degree slope. Most pilots get to recognise this angle very acurately and strive to stabilise their approaches as early as possible as they line up on the runway. When you start to recognise that 3 degree slope you begin to feel uncomfortable when you are not on it and deliberately fly to intercept it as early as possible. The rest of the final then tends to become standard and repeatable with precision leading to accurate arrivals at the flare and smooth touch downs.
So I would recommend you add another check to your list to be actioned as you initially line up on final.
"Am I on the right slope?"
If not make the correction EARLY.
Discuss this with your instructor.
