Magento 2 - Enabling GZIP compression

Magento 2 - Enabling GZIP compression - Probably a quick job. Site is in prod mode but recompiled and same problem.

Server has it enabled here: https://checkgzipcompression.com

Was told to edit some bits in HTACCESS which was done but result hasn't changed, GT Metrix still says to enable it.

Seems to point to two things in my pub/static/theme folders:

• .SVG image
• .min.js files

Anyone know what needs to be done here? Can't give access, it'll be a quick Skype or PPH messaging debug exercise.

Code was enabled in HTACCESS as below:
