You're probably overthinking - and over controlling during the landing... it really comes down to cognitively controlling your relation of the aircraft to the runway (descent rate, etc) - easy ways are to nail your final approach airspeed and understand that raising the nose at a slower airspeed will increase your descent rate - keep the nose down until the flare (think ground effect)

If you going to focus on anything, try smooth control inputs... feel the airplane down to the ground effect... steadily hold the nose off until the mains squeek on.

Keep practicing - it may just click one of these times, don't give up.
