I have two dataframes with similar columns that I’m trying to perform a full_join in R.

dtc1.4 <- full_join(1.3, Matos.20s.data2)

However, I get the following error message:

Error in UseMethod(“full_join”) :
no applicable method for ‘full_join’ applied to an object of class “c(‘double’, ‘numeric’)”

I’m not sure what’s not lining up since I have the same class for the columns that are getting joined. Any advice?

Here are my 2 datasets:
