Overthinking after a Interview

Hi I'm currently an Associate in VC in London Covering FinTech, B2B SaaS (mostly been Gen AI) and ESG, I've held some other roles in VC/Start-ups including a Founders Associate, Growth Equity Summer Analyst, and Analyst 1 at my first full-time fund in Europe. I'm getting married next year my soon-to-be wife lives in the middle east and I've been speaking to funds about a move. now that the backstory is out of the way.

I was referred by a partner of a fund im close with to a Partner at a Local VC in the Middle East to talk about my goals, which led to several other calls with the remainder of their partners on the team. My last call felt more like an interview asking me about my background, whether I have led deals end-to-end, etc cultural questions, we are looking at the same company (we passed) so we discussed that in the call and I mentioned I wrote a whitepaper on a topic that partner is currently looking at. 

I want this role and I'm not sure how to feel about my odds, I reached out to the team to say thanks for their time, and the last partner I spoke to followed up and asked to see my white paper and I also sent her some private transaction comps for the deal we are both looking at as an extra piece of information that shows my ability, they mentioned they would reach out with feedback after their offsite, but is their anything I can do to maximise my chances.
