When using meteor with MUP and NGINX how should I setup my cache?

Question

Right now I'm trying this in my .conf file. None of the pictures are showing up if I do this.

location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$ {
    expires 365d;
}

location ~*  \.(pdf)$ {
    expires 30d;
}

I've already looked at this question (https://stackoverflow.com/a/18039576/582309) on SO and it doesn't address the problem I'm having using MUP.

I've also tried to include the root path to the build directory that MUP is creating, but that doesn't work either. Also, I removed the CSS and JS from the cache here because the pages doesn't load if those don't work and I wasn't sure if Meteor was already taking care of caching of these files.

location ~*  \.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|ico)$ {
    root /opt/give/app/programs/web.browser; //tried many combinations of the path
    expires 365d;
}

location ~*  \.(pdf)$ {
    expires 30d;
}

Here is a GIST of the rest of the .conf file

Turns out that to cache my images fonts and other public assets all I really needed to do it this.

Already had this top portion

location /give {
    proxy_pass http://trashmountainGive/app_name;
    proxy_http_version 1.1;
    proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
    proxy_set_header Connection "upgrade";
    proxy_set_header Host $http_host;

    proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
    proxy_set_header X-Forward-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
    proxy_set_header X-Forward-Proto http;
    proxy_set_header X-Nginx-Proxy true;

    proxy_redirect off;

    #Added everything below here

    location /give/images {
        alias /opt/app_name/app/programs/web.browser/app/images;
        access_log off;
        expires max;
    }

    location /give/fonts {
        alias /opt/app_name/app/programs/web.browser/app/fonts;
        access_log off;
        expires max;
    }
}
