Here’s the thing: if the NT quotes the Septuagint, then it’s establishing the canonicity of the Septuagint. Not because it merely quotes it, but because it quotes it as Scripture.

So, if the NT asserts that the Septuagint is Scripture, then we know that the text and books of the Septuagint are canonical.
 
Which, as the link I shared proves, that seems to be the case.
 
In the Gospel of Matthew when the author says

22 Now all this took place to fulfil what the Lord had spoken through the prophet:

23 Look! the virgin is with child and will give birth to a son whom they will call Immanuel, a name which means ‘God-is-with-us’.

Matthew1: 22-23
 
@JohnR77 has posted quite often on this question. If he sees this, I expect he’ll be able to help you. Also, here is an earlier thread on the same subject that you may find useful.

Proof Jesus and apostles used the Septuagint and deuterocanon Sacred Scripture
Can anyone give evidence that Jesus and the apostles used this old testament? I’ve heard that the NT quotes the Septuagint. Can someone show this? Also I heard that the NT references 2 macabees

Of the approximately 300 Old Testament quotes in the New Testament, approximately 2/3 of them came from the Septuagint (the Greek translation of the Old Testament) which included the ‘deuterocanonical’ books which Protestants, following Martin Luther, later removed. This is additional evidence that Jesus and the apostles viewed the Septuagint Old Testament as the Old Testament.
 
here are some pictures that i saved on my hardrive

We find the New and Old Testaments cross-referenced to the “Apocrypha”.

We even find them even cross-referencing the Old and New Testaments to the the so called “Apocrypha” books. The total number of references in the margins in the Old and New Testaments to the so called “Apocrypha” books of the King James version as printed in 1611 is 113. Of this number, 102 are in the Old Testament, and 11 in the New. The New Testament passages with references to the Apocrypha are as follows:
Mat 6:7Ecclesiasticus 7:14
Mat 27:43Wisdom 2:15-16
Luke 6:31Tobit 4:15
Luke 14:13Tobit 4:7
John 10:221 Maccabees 4:59
Rom 9:21Wisdom 15:7
Rom 11:34Wisdom 9:13
2 Cor 9:7Ecclesiasticus 35:9
Heb 1:3Wisdom 7:26
Heb 11:352 Maccabees 7:7
I know the following is not really related to this subject,

Two interesting factoids of the day:

82% of all Old Testament quotations found in the New Testament are from the following 6 books:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, Psalms and Isaiah.

Of those Old Testament books that are quoted, Ezekiel, which is a large book, has the lowest frequency of being cited only 1 and ½ times.
