Combine table and matrix with R

I am performing an analysis in R. I want to fill the first row of an matrix with the content of a table. The problem I have is that the content of the table is variable depending on the data so sometimes certain identifiers that appear in the matrix do not appear in the table.

> random.evaluate
     DNA LINE LTR/ERV1 LTR/ERVK LTR/ERVL LTR/ERVL-MaLR other SINE
[1,]  NA   NA       NA       NA       NA            NA    NA   NA

> y
  DNA          LINE      LTR/ERVK      LTR/ERVL LTR/ERVL-MaLR     SINE 
    1             1             1             1             1       4

Due to this, when I try to join the data of the matrix with the data of the table, I get the following error

random.evaluate[1,] <- y
Error in random.evaluate[1, ] <- y : 
  number of items to replace is not a multiple of replacement length

Could someone help me fix this bug? I have found solutions to this error but in my case they do not work for me.

First check if the column names of the table exist in the matrix

Check this link

If it exists, just set the value as usual.
