Hello Sky,
Following this two threads, you should succeed.

In the second thread we achieved a read range of 24cm using a 14x10 cm antenna. For you purpose I would recommend a 25x25cm or 30x30 cm antenna.
The Register 0x27 should be kept at 0x00. I would start with a target matching impedance around 15 to 20. The Q-factor should be around 35. The capacitive voltage divider should be setup in a way you achieve 2.7Vpp on the RFI (using the Measure Amplitude command).
Further information can be found in the application note "AN4974 Antenna matching for ST25R3911B/ST25R391x devices".
