The OP said that they already have the contents in the register. So
I assumed they had already done something like
"zY
to populate the register, then selected something using v/V/^V and
then used
"zp
to paste over the the visual selection with the contents of the "z"
register.
That's the way it's supposed to work, so if the OP isn't seeing that
behavior, something is likely interfering.
