There's a very good book called "making perfect landings in small airplanes" Google it and buy it.

If you are of an academic turn of mind it will probably help to understand that landing is multiphase activity.

Get established on final at the right speed and with the numbers about a third of the way up the windscreen. Use aileron and Rudder to keep that picture constant

As you get over the runway threshold stop looking at the numbers and look at the far end of the runway, pull gently back on the yoke to get the picture level in the window, close the throttle and then continue to pull very slowly back on the yoke as the aircraft sinks and when you touch down you should have pulled all the way back.

As you roll out keep straight with rudder and gently release the yoke until the nose wheel settles and then steer as desired.

Have that multistage process in your head and get the picture at each stage clear from practice

Good luck it
