In this section there is a list of the kings that the Israelites defeated on the east side and the west side of the Jordan River.
Here is another possible section heading:
The kings that the Israelites defeated on both sides of the Jordan River
The kings that the Israelites defeated on the east side of the Jordan River.
He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah,
He ruled the territory that went from Mount Hermon and Salecah City in the north
His kingdom went north to Mount Hermon, and east to Salecah City,
He ruled over Mount Hermon, Salecah: Mount Hermon is a high mountain that was the northern limit of Joshua’s conquests. It formed the northwest end of King Og’s kingdom.
Salecah: The town of Salecah was on the eastern boundary of the territory of Bashan. It was southeast of the Sea of Galilee.12:5 Rasmussen, p. 250.
Here are some ways to translate this part of the verse:
He ruled a territory stretching from Mount Hermon and Salecah in the north (NLT)
His kingdom stretched north to Mount Hermon, east to the town of Salecah, (CEV)
all of Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites and Maacathites,
and all of Bashan to where the Geshurites and the Maacathites lived.
and included the land of Bashan as far west as the land of the Geshur people and the Maacah people.
all of Bashan up to the border of the Geshurites: The term Geshurites can also be translated “Geshur people.” They were a small group who lived northeast of the Sea of Galilee. Joshua and the Israelites were not able to conquer them.12:5 Rasmussen, p. 236.
and Maacathites: The term Maacathites can also be translated “Maacah people.” This was a small kingdom in modern Syria whose people continued to live in their land. Joshua and the Israelites failed to drive them out.12:5 Rasmussen, p. 243.
and half of Gilead to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
He ruled half the land of Gilead up to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon.
His territory included the northern half of Gilead, as far as the boundary of King Sihon of Heshbon.
and half of Gilead: King Og ruled over the northern half of Gilead. King Sihon ruled over the southern half of Gilead. You should translate the word Gilead the same way you did in 12:2d.
to the border of Sihon king of Heshbon: King Og’s territory extended south to the area that King Sihon ruled.

The author is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need in order to be complete. You can supply these words from the context if that would be clearer in your language. Alternate translation: [and he ruled over half of Gilead, as far as the border with Sihon, the king of Heshbon]
