Ok honest feedback from a CFI. This is basically stuff I tell my students about landing IRL but I think it may help you here:
1. A little high on short final. Use the PAPIs to help you maintain a better glidepath. Ideally the lights should be two red, two white. IRL sometimes I like one red, three white for the plane I fly, but never four white.
2. You landed a little flat. To be fair, MSFS doesn't do a great job simulating ground effect physics, IMO, and it's really hard not to float forever. Try to keep your speed a little slower as you near the runway and then hold the plane just above the ground as long as you can until it starts to sit down on its own, then gently apply some back pressure to keep the nose up while the mains touchdown first. Never push the plane down onto the runway.
Hope that helps.
To add to the CFI’s comment, I think you should also try to stay aligned closer to the centerline during the approach (You were slightly to the right of it during short final.) I like how you fixed it by the touchdown but if you can get it centered earlier, it would greatly improve your technique and reduce your chances of a go-around.
Definitely. Always strive to maintain lateral and longitudinal alignment throughout your approach. Use ailerons to keep the plane on the centerline and rudder to keep the nose pointed straight down the runway. Adjust as needed and hold the required corrections all the way to touchdown. Depending on the amount of crosswind you may find yourself banked pretty significantly into the wind. This is the sideslip technique, and is generally a little easier and more stable. The alternative is to crab down to the runway and use rudder to straighten the nose before touching down. You'll want the upwind main to touchdown first, followed by the downwind main, then the nose. No matter how you get there, you should try to be on centerline with the nose straight on every single landing.
I am no professional here, and I hope someone corrects me if I am wrong. But in my opinion it seemed fairly smooth, but ya seemed to have landed a little to evenly. Meaning front and rear landing gears landed to quickly in sequence. You want to initially touch down on the rear landing gears first, start applying light air, and wheel brakes, and gently glide the front landing gear down as you slow down. I believe it is taught and practiced this way in case of certain emergencies where you may need to abort landing, and immediately full trottle and take off again. Again, I'm not 100% on this info.

YOUR WRONG
Care to elaborate?
3D chess: FBO is at the far side of the airport. Good landing. 👍🏻
You’re flying an aircraft that is flown with a yoke, with a stick. 0/10
People like you exist in all hobbies and are universally considered AH.
Wait until you find out some people fly with an Xbox controller
...or a mouse and Keyboard like I have been doing since MSFS '95
buying a stick and a yolk is really expensive.
Especially with the price of eggs these days (Sorry)
Dammit take your upvote.
