adjust your rear shock first.

As @rockpool said, lower your shock first.
also, if you are new to riding, your feet don’t have to be as flat as you think.
if you lol at motocross riders, most of the time they can only touch on one side.

Personally I would lower seat by shaving off foam and narrowing front. Doesn't mess up suspension geometry like lowering shock does. Less risk of catching pegs in corner too.
