b737 ng landing difficulties - due to change in seat height

Hello All

I have approximately 1700 hours on type(right seat).

I have had no problems landing the aircraft until now. Reason being my seat position initially was set to 3 unit high (vertical position of the seat). But I have been told by my captains that 3 is way to low for my height (170 cm).

Since then I have raised my seat position to 5 units (vertical adjustment). And after this change I am finding it extremely difficult to get a good perception of flare. What has been happening is I feel at this seat height setting that the aircraft is sinking way to fast and I flare early which ends up floating a lot.

Can anyone explain on what should be done. I know it's difficult to explain landing on text, but I would request you to do the best you can to help me

Thanks a lot
