Try the package {xtable} which does put table caption at bottom and then pass the xtable object to kableExtra::xtable2kable to turn the xtable object into a kable object and then you have the caption at the bottom of the table.

```{r message=FALSE}

library(dplyr)
library(xtable)
library(kableExtra)

df <- iris %>% head()

xtable(df, caption = "Table caption is on the top") %>%
  xtable2kable()
```

The rendered output looks like

table_caption_at_bottom
