Setting cache control on Apache 2.4

My site is hosted on Apache 2.4 I try to meet Google Insights recommendations, but I keep getting this recommendation

Leverage browser caching Setting an expiry date or a maximum age in the HTTP headers for static resources instructs the browser to load previously downloaded resources from local disk rather than over the network. Leverage browser caching for the following cacheable resources: https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js (2 hours)

In my .htaccess file I added

<IfModule mod_headers.c>
    # WEEK
    <FilesMatch "\.(jpg|jpeg|png|gif|swf)$">
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800, public"
    </FilesMatch>

    # WEEK
    <FilesMatch "\.(js|css|swf)$">
        Header set Cache-Control "max-age=604800"
    </FilesMatch>
</IfModule>

However, this did not help at all. In my index.php I tried setting 

<?php
header( 'Cache-Control: max-age=604800' );
?>

No result. My whole .htaccess file is:

<IfModule mod_deflate.c>
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/plain
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/css
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/xhtml+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/rss+xml
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/javascript
AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE application/x-javascript
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_expires.c>
# Enable expirations
ExpiresActive On
# Default directive
ExpiresDefault "access plus 1 month"
# My favicon
ExpiresByType image/x-icon "access plus 1 year"
# Images
ExpiresByType image/gif "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/png "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpg "access plus 1 month"
ExpiresByType image/jpeg "access plus 1 month"
# CSS
ExpiresByType text/css "access plus 1 month"
# Javascript
ExpiresByType application/javascript "access plus 1 year"
</IfModule>
ErrorDocument 400 /400.php
ErrorDocument 401 /401.php
ErrorDocument 403 /403.php
ErrorDocument 404 /404.php
ErrorDocument 500 /500.php

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^(.*)\.html$ $1.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
</IfModule>

There is nothing you can do to affect offsite resources. Google will often flag things that you can not control. It will also often be Google resources.

https://www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js

That is clearly not on your server and thus you can not change any of it's headers. Don't worry too much about getting a perfect score on PageSpeed. Only worry about those things you can control.
