Am i right in thinking after they ball had bounced and hit the ground and comes back to the maximum bounce height the forces acting boom the ball are balanced and it is gravity and upthrust? As the object is stationary although it is suspended in air?

Any upwards force on the ball will occur at the point that the ball hits the ground, but as soon as it has left the ground that force will no longer be acting.

So at the top of the maximum bounce height after it has hit the ground even though its "suspended in air" still the only force pushing it is gravity, so its unbalanced? If it was horizontal it would be equal forces as its not moving? The fact it has fallen is confusing me?
