You need to get the field “section_settings” and then get the sub field “top_and_bottom_padding” from that. This can be done in a few ways.

// get sections settings as an array
$section_settings = get_sub_field('section_settings');
$sectionPadding = $section_settings['top_and_bottom_padding'];

// loop group field
if (have_rows('section_settings')) {
  // always true for group field
  while (have_rows('section_settings')) {
    // always happens one time for group field
    the_row();
    $sectionPadding = get_sub_field('top_and_bottom_padding');
  }
}

// get field directly
// to be honest, I don't know if this will work with nested fields
// format here is "{$parent_field_name}_{$child_field_name}"
$sectionPadding = get_sub_field('section_settings_top_and_bottom_padding');
