Perhaps you are used to different thrust lever quadrants and are moving the T/L's too far?

They usually only need a nudge rather than a push - I "waddle" them - (made up word !) - what I mean is holding them together, I turn my wrist slightly to waddle one forward 5mm, using the static one as a reference, then the other way to bring the other one level. If I need a bit more thrust I repeat the process. This way you don't accidentally push them along too far.

On flaring, I reduce the power immediately after I have flared, but before the sink onto the tarmac.

Lot's of different ways to skin a cat - these are mine.
