32L is 1840 m, and that is less than 2400.

This is very important with respect to different runway TDZ aim point marking, PAPI position and its beam height over threshold.

330 is supposed to be landed with 50 ft antenna heigtht, about 56 feet pilot's eye over threshold. On standard, longer runways the MEHT for PAPI is 66 feet. To land the A330 i.a.w. performance assumptions you need to be noticeably (10 feet) lower.

Do the same on a shorter than 2400 meters runway, and you are aiming for trouble. Does not really explain contact with the THR LTs.
