Solving for Euler Angles

$begingroup$
I would like to determine Euler angles according to the following example.
My example:
I have the three vectors in an original set of axes:
r1e = -0.517853, 0., -0.759239
r2e = -0.517853, 0., 0.759239
r3e = 0.0647316, 0., 0.
And after expressing them in a new reference frame they obtain the following components:
rt1e=0.310733, -0.358839, -0.786917
rt2e=0.690333, 0.298661, 0.527983
rt3e=-0.0625667, 0.00376111, 0.0161833
In reality, I know the Euler angles to be $(30,60,120)$ degrees. How can I get Mathetmatica to give me this?

That command won't work, as the rotation matrix itself is not known. Only the two vectors.

What I tried to say: If you prescribe a pair $u$ and $v$ of same length $neq 0$ in $mathbbR^3$, then there will be a one-parameter family of rotations (and thus a one-parameter family of Euler angles) that map $u$ to $v$. So, it is as it is: Your problem is underdetermined.

As noted, you can use FindGeometricTransform in tandem with EulerAngles:
r = -0.517853, 0., -0.759239, -0.517853, 0., 0.759239, 0.0647316, 0., 0.;
rt = 0.310733, -0.358839, -0.786917, 0.690333, 0.298661, 0.527983,
-0.0625667, 0.00376111, 0.0161833;
fg = FindGeometricTransform[r, rt];
EulerAngles[Drop[TransformationMatrix[Last[fg]], -1, -1]]/°
60.0048, 30.0019, 120.
