I also don't think its my approach, because if I try to make it longer i will need to add throttle to prevent it from stalling.

Since I just got the hardware, I think its worth messing with them even if I get good landings without them.
It might be that you just think it is coming in fast. Some trainers bounce on landing. At any rate nothing wrong with putting 30 degree flaps on it. But definitely test it at altitude so you can get the elevator coupling correct.
