You're right. I am pretty smart...and experienced. I've never heard of someone failing training or failing in a simulator because of their landings.
If someone is failing a sim session or checkride because of the landing, which I've never seen graded at any level, ever, then that person had something else happening, not just landings.

Need more info from the OP. Are you new to transport flying?? New to flying a sim at all?? Are you new at your company or is this a problem over a period of (recurrent) events??
Can't speak for your airplane (you didn't mention type) but on the MD-11, we use audio cues from the radar altimeter. At the 50' call you need to be transitioning to a flare and not getting to worked up about a greaser or even a little skip. As mentioned by another, on (or very close to) the center line, in the landing zone. Properly aligned (if in a crosswind) and good control after touchdown.
