"Cannot assign an object of class 'numeric' to the slot @‘counts’ in an object of class 'SpatialRNA'; is(value, 'dgCMatrix') is not TRUE."

Hi, great tool! However, when I run

> myRCTD <- create.RCTD(puck, reference, max_cores = 4)
Begin: process_cell_type_info
process_cell_type_info: number of cells in reference: 5481
process_cell_type_info: number of genes in reference: 14594

End: process_cell_type_info
Error in (function (cl, name, valueClass)  : 
"Cannot assign an object of class 'numeric' to the slot @‘counts’ in an object of class 'SpatialRNA'; is(value, 'dgCMatrix') is not TRUE."

I do check my counts in puck is dgCMatrix.

> str(counts)

Full code:

## Examine SpatialRNA object (optional)
print(dim(puck@counts)) # observe Digital Gene Expression matrix

plot_puck_continuous(puck, rownames(coords), puck@nUMI, ylimit = c(0,round(quantile(puck@nUMI,0.9))), 
                     title ='plot of nUMI') 

myRCTD <- create.RCTD(puck, reference, max_cores = 4)

Thank you very much!
