I would have thought that 155/50 would have been better. More flaps (as in 50^o versus 40^o) would give you a better nose down attitude (I got that from Lou). I cross reference my speed versus my pitch on landing, If my nose is to high, then I increase speed to push it down or add the next flap setting if it is available (I can't do that if I'm at flaps 50). A very important thing to remember is this: the higher the nose is, the less lift the wings will give. In my opinion, you were too slow for the 40^o of flaps in use. Maybe 170 - 180 knots OR 50^o of flaps would have been better.
