This list is a decent start but let's look at mono red's weaknesses, card draw and enchantment removal. You have LOTS of cuts to be made, lmk if you want ideas on what to cut or more things to add.
Arch of Orazca - Card draw that only takes a land slot
Commune with Lava - Can be used on end of opponents turns, usually good for 3-5 depending on how much mana you have and your curve.
Endless Atlas - Reuseable, cheap to play, cheap to actives
Hedron Archive - Card draw and ramp
Humble Defector - Draw with politics
Ignite the Future - Very good "draw" as it can be flashbacked
Light Up the Stage - Similar to above
Mind's Eye - Re-useable, fun with wheels
Skullclamp - Cheap easy card draw, fun with myrs
Solemn Simulacrum - Card draw and ramp
Tome of Legends - Your most powerful draw engine in the entire deck
Lastly, with all your enchantments you might want to consider Crystal Chimes

Arch of Orazca - Repeatable late game draw
Commune with Lava - Late game "draw," can be used end of opponents turn as well
Hedron Archive - Ramp and card draw
Ignite the Future - Very good "draw"
Light Up the Stage - Almost as good "draw"
Mind's Eye - Expensive, but mid-late game draw is always nice
You have virtually no draw, just lots of looting which is fine for GY shenanigans but you will run out of gas quickly.
Gauntlet of Power - Ramp
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Ramp, removal, draw and wincon all in 1
Outpost Siege - Draw
Stranglehold - Stops tutoring and land fetching
Sunbird's Invocation - If this sticks, it's GG

Magus of the Wheel - Wheel
Outpost Siege - Draw
Homeward Path - Ensures you don't lose your wincon (ur commander) and synergizes with Humble Defector
Hanweir Battlements - Haste
Myriad Landscape - Ramp
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - Burn
Stranglehold - Stops tutors, fetches, land fetching, etc... very powerful
Crystal Chimes - With so many enchantments, this can't hurt.
Sunbird's Invocation - If they let this resolve and stick, its hard not to win if you build your deck correctly
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Removal, card draw, ramp and wincon all in 1
Better equipment honestly. Like sword of feast and famine, fire and ice, etc...
Sword of the Animist > Explorer's Scope
I would suggest more ramp, but I feel card draw is a bigger issue at the moment given your low CMC.
I know the deck is low to the ground but understand that card draw is what you desperately need in red. Because as of now, you lack any real means of car draw. I understand the aggro part of Mono red, but this deck isn't nearly fast enough for you to get a quick win and therefore need to consider other options that help maintain gas into the mid-late game. For a voltron deck, you need to protect your commander. Equipments and auras can help, but they can (and wise opponents will always) hold up removal in response to auras or equipment. Price of Glory will make them think twice. Other potential options can be Bolt Bend and Shunt . They redirect removal and counter counterspells. Very important for a voltron deck.

So I saw Bolt Bend in your list and realized it would be amazing for my Xenagos deck so thank you! To repay the favor, I'm gonna make this deck a lot better, get ready. Not all of these suggestions are necessary, pick and choose which you think work best.
Arch of Orazca - Late game draw that doesn't take up a spot
Commune with Lava - Can be played on opponents end step if needed, helps ensure land drops and gas. I recently took this out of my Norin list to add a combo, but this still puls it's weight even on X = 3 or 4
Endless Atlas - Cheap repeatable card draw
Hedron Archive - Budget ramp and draw, decent inclusion
Ignite the Future - Useful with top to ensure you can cast (activate top, put it on top, cast ignite). Speaking of which, where is your Sensei's Divining Top ?
Ignite the Future - Usually for , pretty good
Mind's Eye - Expensive, but repeatable
Skullclamp - With all of your 1 toughness creatures, this should be in
Solemn Simulacrum - Ramp and card draw, always good
Tome of Legends - Best draw in your deck, it will ALWAYS have counters, cheap to play, cheap to activate. If you listen to anything I say, add this and atlas.
Curse of Opulence - Use Norin or any of your 30 creatures to ramp you
Dockside Extortionist - Very good card all around, even better with Panharmonichron and Gensis chamber
Honor-Worn Shaku - Tap Norin to add more mana. Works with Planeswalkers and purphurous as well
Mox Amber - More early game ramp. Curse and mox are both low on the curve for you.
Ruby Medallion - Good cheap ramp
Myriad Landscape - Ramp
Valakut, the Molten Pinnacle - Lighting bolts are fun
Inventors' Fair - Tutor and lifegain, always good
Nykthos, Shrine to Nyx - Ramp
Chandra, Torch of Defiance - Ramp, removal, draw and wincon all in one. Plus it fuels Honor and mox
Dualcaster Mage - Super useful!
Stranglehold - Stops tutoring, basic land fetch. Overall good card
Sunbird's Invocation - High CMC but so much value! If they don't answer this, you should win
Let me know if you want ideas for cuts, other suggestions or want to bounce ideas off of each other as Norin players.
