Need to set trim

When I read the whole report what struck me was that even with everything that was done wrong, I think they almost saved it at the end and would have made it if it was not for the trim being against the end stop. The warning about manual trim required vanished off the FD when it shifted into the unusual attitude mode (Abnormal Alternate Law).

I'm just an SLF with a strong interest in aviation, but is there not a case to be made for some form of highlighting what the trim is and the need to manually correct it in this type of scenario? I appreciate that there's going to be a ton of sounds going off and lights flashing, so not quite sure how to achieve it. Maybe add a "Check Trim" to the stall recovery checklist?
