Nginx rewrite to include folder

I'm having a problem with my rewrite rule. It doesn't include folders in the rewrite path. For example:

/randomstring/app.js rewrites to /var/www/CDN/Dev/App/app.js

/randomstring/dashboard/app.js rewrites to /var/www/CDN/Dev/App/app.js but it should rewrite to /var/www/CDN/Dev/App/dashboard/app.js

I don't understand why it doesn't work. (.*) matches everything but a dot if I'm not mistaken so why doesn't it include the dashboard/ part?

location ~* (css|js)$ {
    rewrite ^/([^/]*)/(.*).(css|js)$ /$2.$3 ;
    root /var/www/CDN/Dev/App;
}

I see no reason to use rewrite here. Alias should be enough

location ~* /[^/]+(/.+\.(css|js))$ {
    alias /var/www/CDN/Dev/App/$1;
}

location ~* \.(css|js)$ {
    rewrite ^/([^/]+)/(.+)\.(css|js)$ /$2.$3 ;
    root /var/www/CDN/Dev/App;
}
