In all likelihood you should have (at least) two audio inputs (one red and one white) along with one video input. The video input is not always yellow (see example image below) as it is sometimes only included with the composite video connection. There is no reason the Video/"Y" connection should fail to work with your video cable on the Wii's RCA adapter.

You have two options. The first would be to connect the existing RCA cable connection using the configuration in this image I made from a screenshot (below).
