kable full_width styling option prints strange character below table caption

I am using knitr and kable to generate PDFs with R. The output I got has some special characters printed before/under table caption sample of the error. I found that if I drop "full_width" option in kable_styling, the string of characters disappears. The problem exisits for all my data frames.
How can I fix it?

Thanks a lot!

I found that adding

usepackage{caption}

captionsetup{width=8in}

improves the output. Now if I have a table caption, it will fully cover the strange characters. But the position of the table caption is not centered as default sample of the error.Without a table caption, it still looks some like this.

It would be great if someone could offer some better solution.
