For testing purposes just putting:
gzip on;
gzip_types text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/javascript
application/json;
in http {} block (and reloading nginx) should be enough to enable gzip
(obviously add whatever other types you need like svg / fonts).
Other directives can be specified later for finetuning.

You should check which resources the testing tool expects to be compressed
(maybe all of those come from external sites?).
Also not all of the recommendations are (very) important.
For example the testing tool for one of my site complains - manifest.json could
save 92B (32% reduction). While the 32% percentage looks reasonable the actual
gain of 92 bytes doesn't make much sense to compress the file on server side /
decompress on client side.
