The first thing that you need to do is to get the terms that the post is in.

$post_id = $post->ID;
$taxonomy = 'custom-category';
$args = array('fields' => 'ids');
$terms = get_post_terms($post_id, $taxonomy, $args);

$terms will hold an array term ids that the post is in. For more information on this see https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_get_post_terms

Once you have a list of terms you can get the images from those terms. In the below I am using “image_field” for the name of your image field.

for (i=0; i<count($terms), i++) {
    $term_post_id = $taxonomy.'_'.$terms[i];
    $image_url = get_field('image_field', $term_post_id);
    if ($image_url) {
        // your code for showing the image here
    }
}
