Unfortunately persistence and time in the pattern are the only things you can do. I had logged over 300 landings by the time I did my flight test. I tried all kinds of tricks that they show in various videos and books but nothing helped. Once I trusted that the center of the runway was actually well left of where I thought it was I started to nail the center line. The other advice I kept getting from my CFI was to keep adjusting until I actually landed. Students have a tendency to lock on to a position and maintain it until landing (even though we are not centered). As for timing of the flare, the best advice I got was to not think of the flare so mechanically. I gradually developed an eye (peripheral) for my height off the ground (relative to different runway widths). To this day, if I know I am landing at a wide runway I adjust my expectations. Good luck. You will figure it out. We all did.
Trimmed for landing (for descent). This is a pretty old video (in terms of my flying skill). Now I can land but this was a frustrating time in the learning process where timing of the flair was elusive (as was centering on the runway).
Very nice keep practicing landing youll get it,
Good luck
This is exactly where I am right now and it is incredibly frustrating. I can't seem to get it. Any tips? Other than time?

How much are you trimming before you land?
