What does sitting at the right hand of someone mean with respect to authority? (Heb 1:3, Mt 20:23)

It has been proposed that before the Word became flesh he had the authority of God because he was God. (John 1:1).

However we see post resurrection that the Son sits at the right hand of God (Hebrews 1:3) and that resurrected humans are to sit at his right hand. He sits at the right hand hand of power (Matthew 26:64) and so is not the power himself. Compare 1 Corinthians 11:3 where the Father is his head post resurrection.

At Matthew 20:23 Jesus will have resurrected humans sitting at his right hand.
