I'm always surprised at how many people recommend pumping nylon and nobody ever recommends Kitharologos from Ricardo Iznaola. That book covers the entirety of modern technique.

Not specific to Flamenco, but this is a pretty good book of classical guitar exercises that will help develop your right hand technique.

OK. This is a beyond a beginner level, but hear me out -

If you are serious about learning the classical guitar, you should really look into picking up Kitharologus: The Path to Virtuosity, by Ricardo Iznaola. It can challenge even a seasoned player, but if you begin now and are serious about your practice, the drills in this book will have you playing better and more confidently without a doubt.

Kitharologus: The Path to Virtuosity by Ricardo Iznaola

Pumping Nylon by Scott Tennant

I also recommend reading Practicing: A Musician's Return to Music by Glenn Kurtz, it's all about the author's life as a disillusioned professional guitarist who gives up on music only to return to it later in life for his own enjoyment. Essential reading, especially if you ever think about quitting.

Ricardo Iznaola, Kitharologus: The Path to Virtuosity

I recommend trying a technique book. I use Kitharologus: The Path to Virtuosity by Ricardo Iznaola because I think it covers a lot of the really in-depth skills needed for playing. And it's good for discovering your individual flaws, as you seem to have already noticed, so you can use the exercises to improve those flaws.

I know this doesn't address your specific question, but I believe Kitharologus is one of the best technique books out there.

A lot of practice...

This book has tons of exercises for all your needs (fingerpicking, scales, finger strengthening, etc)
