At checkin ask agent to tag bags to go through to OTP. Simply show a copy of the reservation to OTP.

As for immigration and customs, I forgot that Romania, while part of the EU, isnt part of the Schengen area. You'll simply go from your arrival gate to departure gate. Coming from the US/CANADA youll be exempt from needing to reclear security.
