Without a reproducible example, I'm going to take a shot in the dark. If you're using kableExtra, you should be able to specify options through the latex_options in kable_styling(). Looking at the documentation, you could try hold_position:
hold_positionwill "hold" the floating table to the exact position. It is useful when the LaTeX table is contained in a table environment after you specified captions inkable(). It will force the table to stay in the position where it was created in the document. A stronger version:HOLD_positionrequires thefloatpackage and specifies[H].
