The answer

Supplicating after the final is commendable, especially the first supplication. However, if the Imam has said the and the worshipper has not completed his supplication, scholars have differed on the ruling regarding this: Shafi'is permit the worshipper to continue supplicating after the Imam's taslim, even if it takes a long time, while Malikis consider this disliked. Accordingly, there is no harm for the worshipper to supplicate after the Imam's taslim, but it is preferable to say the taslim immediately after the Imam, prioritizing following him.
