What is the ruling on fasting past Ramadans while masturbating due to ignorance of its ruling, and must those days be made up, despite not knowing their number?

The conditions for repentance are: giving up the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. Masturbation is forbidden, and its prohibition intensifies during Ramadan and its daytime due to violating the sanctity of the month. If it leads to the emission of semen during the day, the fast is invalidated. However, it is most likely that an ignorant person is not required to make up the fast, though making it up is more cautious. One can refer to fatwas related to making up missed prayers and fasts.
