In the last moments of the flight what forces were acting on the aircraft...

The tail was stalled so down elevator cannot lower the nose.
The CoG is behind the "center of lift" so that's contributing a nose up pitch.

Seems to be no way to reduce the AoA as per the revised proceedure. Perhaps lowering the gear?
