Use ACF Repeater and Flexible Content fields together

The Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) Repeater field and Flexible Content field are supported via field connection shortcodes.

You can combine the two shortcodes if you use a Repeater field inside a Flexible Content field or a Flexible Content field inside a Repeater field. You can use the shortcode inside any module that supports HTML such as a Text Editor or HTML module.
