Nginx – Adding Cache-Control to Nginx for images, css, js, and fonts

I'm trying to get Cache-Control working on Nginx for assets on my server and it is not taking as expected. Here is my server config for Nginx.

Everything but Cache-Control is working.

Server Blocks

server {
   listen 80;
   server_name www.example.com;
   rewrite ^ https://$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
   listen 80;
   server_name example.com;
   rewrite ^ https://www.$server_name$request_uri? permanent;
}

server {
   listen 443 ssl;
   server_name default;
   root /app/public;

   ssl_certificate /etc/nginx/ssl/default/crt/server.crt;
   ssl_certificate_key /etc/nginx/ssl/default/crt/server.key;
   ssl_protocols TLSv1 TLSv1.1 TLSv1.2;
   index index.html index.htm index.php;
   charset utf-8;
   add_header "X-UA-Compatible" "IE=Edge,chrome=1";

   location ~* \.(ico|css|js|gif|jpeg|jpg|png|woff|ttf|otf|svg|woff2|eot)$ {
       expires 1d;
       access_log off;
       add_header Pragma public;
       add_header Cache-Control "public, max-age=86400";
       add_header X-Asset "yes";
   }

   location / {
      try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string;
   }

   location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
   location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
   access_log off;
   error_log /var/log/nginx/default-error.log error;

   error_page 404 /index.php;
   location ~ \.php$ {
      fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
      fastcgi_pass unix:/var/run/php/php7.0-fpm.sock;
      fastcgi_index index.php;
      include fastcgi_params;
   }

   location ~ /\.ht {
      deny all;
   }
}

Here is my server's response for https://www.example.com/icons/facebook.png:

Accept-Ranges:bytes
Cache-Control:public, max-age=120
Connection:keep-alive
Content-Length:416
Content-Type:image/png
Date:Tue, 04 Oct 2016 14:46:26 GMT
ETag:"57f2a0fd-1a0"
Last-Modified:Mon, 03 Oct 2016 18:18:37 GMT
Server:nginx/1.11.2

The max-age is 120 where I am expecting 86400 and there is no custom X-Asset header too.

HTTP Block

The /etc/nginx/conf.d/ folder is empty.
