NL100 Triple barrel on paired board

BN: $126.20
SB: $104.71
BB: $56.21
UTG: $357.95 (Hero)
HJ: $159.27
CO: $120
MP is 20/16 with a 4.0% 3-bet over 91 hands.
SB is 25/20 with a 9.7% 3-bet over 329 hands.
Preflop ($1.50) (6 Players)
Hero was dealt Q K
Hero raises to $3, HJ calls $3, CO folds, BN folds, SB calls $2.50, BB folds
MP's 3-bet % is so low that I'd expect him to flat hands as strong as AKo/QQ here, in addition to all pocket pairs 22+ and maybe some suited hands since we're deep along with CO/BTN who might juice the pot if they also call. CO/BTN have a combined 3-bet % of 13.2% so it's not likely he'd get squeezed.

SB is at 100BB stacks and could easily squeeze us here with a polarized range. Instead he opts to flat so he's very likely to just be set mining.
Flop ($10.00) 3 5 A (3 Players)
SB checks, Hero bets $6.50, HJ calls $6.50, SB folds
We have a BDFD and MP can't really continue with his weaker pairs or floats here since SB can still C/R us. I expect MP's continuing range to be 33, 55, Axs incl. A3/A5, AQo+ and maybe TT-QQ or 22/44 which will peel 1 street with a gutshot. I never expect MP to raise a set here although it's possible he might put a small one in with A3/A5 since these hands are able to be counterfeited sometimes or with 22/44 as a semi-bluff.

SB folds so now we're OOP.
Turn ($23.00) 3 5 A 4 (2 Players)
Hero bets $15.50, HJ calls $15.50
I'm a bit hesitant to fire a second barrel here despite picking up a flush draw.

TT-QQ are the only hands that fold to this turn bet and there are only 18 combos.

No other part of his range is folding:

A2s (3), A3s (2), A4s (2), A5s (2), A6s (3), A7s-AQs (18), AQo (12), AKo (12), 22 (6), 33 (3), 44 (3), 55 (3) = 69 combos

If I'm targeting the TT-QQ portion of his range, I should have bet something like $6. This would coincide perfectly with villain's MDF of roughly 80% and it would be giving myself the correct price for my draw (unless he raises, which he might not do with a large chunk of his weaker Axs). Although realistically for that price he still might not fold.
River ($54.00) 3 5 A 4 5 (2 Players)
Hero bets $42.50
I want to target the weaker aces that called 2-barrels here. Obviously no boat or wheel is folding, but the good news is that A3s/A4s just got counterfeited and the 5 removes some sets from his range.

Targeted folding range: A3s (2), A4s (2), A6s-AQs (21), AQo (12) = 37 combos = 53.6% which is the amount of times my bluff needs to work.

To achieve this, I need to make a small overbet of roughly $63.

So my bet of $42.50 was a bit too small. With this bet size he needs to defend 56% of his range, which is 38 combos and allows him to add half his combos of AQo into the mix (probably those without the Qc).

What do you guys think of this hand and my analysis?
