Bleve,

Well done. By rotating to 15 degrees nose up so early you will have a tail strike. By retracting the flaps too early you may increase the severity of the tail strike.

Try thrust/10* degrees NU/pause (then scratch private parts to if itchy to use more time...)
THEN call flap 20 etc AFTER ground separation/RoC confirmed by RA,altimeter,VSI and 15 deg NU established

* A degree or so below FCOM tailstrike figure with compressed struts
