Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / quotesinquotes
λέγει & αὐτός, εἶπεν Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου, κάθου ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
/is/_saying & himself said /the/_Lord ˱to˲_the Lord ˱of˲_me /be/_sitting on /the/_right ˱of˲_me
The material in 2:34–35 contains a quotation within a quotation within a quotation. Luke is quoting Peter, Peter is quoting another psalm by David (Psalm 110:1), and David is quoting God. You could avoid having second-level and third-level quotations by translating this as an indirect quotation. Alternate translation: “he himself says that the Lord told his Lord to sit at his right”
Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
εἶπεν Κύριος τῷ Κυρίῳ μου
said /the/_Lord ˱to˲_the Lord ˱of˲_me
The Lord means God here, and my Lord means the Messiah. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could state that explicitly. Alternate translation: “God said to the Messiah”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / nominaladj
ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
on /the/_right ˱of˲_me
Here the adjective right is used as a noun in order to indicate the right side. See how you translated the similar expression in 2:25. Alternate translation: “at my right side”
Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
ἐκ δεξιῶν μου
on /the/_right ˱of˲_me
In this culture, the place at the right side of a ruler was a position of honor. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “in a place of honor next to me”
2:14-36 This is the first of about thirty speeches in Acts and one of the most important, standing as it does at the very inception of the church. It is a typical example of the preaching of the apostles, who proclaimed (1) that the Old Testament promises had been fulfilled in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is the promised Messiah; (2) that the apostles themselves were eyewitnesses of Jesus’ entire public ministry and were his chosen representatives; (3) that people are called to repent of their sins and have faith in God through Christ; and (4) that salvation and the presence of the Holy Spirit are promised to those who respond affirmatively to this message of Good News. This basic message is echoed in the sermons of chs 3, 4, 5, 8, 10, and 13. The same themes characterized Paul’s preaching (see 1 Cor 15:3-9). This message was repeatedly preached to both Jews and Gentiles throughout the Mediterranean world; all people are summoned to repent of their sins and turn to God through faith in Jesus Christ.

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Greek words that they’re translated from.
