I have a Maid of Honor who is unmarried and a Matron of Honor who is married. I want my Matron to be a witness along with the Best Man. Even though she is married, can I have her as the Maid instead?

No rules about who can sign beyond the requirement for the witness to be over 18 years of age, and able to listen and acknowledge to Monitum and the Legal vows.
Matron, Maid etc.. really none of that is important. Its moot. You dont have to have a member of the bridal party to be a witness. It can be anyone (in line with the aforementioned comments). Nowadays bridal parties are such a mix of gender and identities - couples no longer feeling obliged to have women to the left and men to the right. We have many exampes of mixed gender bridal parties on both sides. The celebrant can help you with this but really none of this is a concern for you on the day.
