This approach leaves two unlabeled form inputs in the tab flow and will be announced via a screen reader. Could you test this by adding tabindex="-1" aria-hidden="true" to the inputs? Tabindex="-1' removes it from the tab flow, so a sighted keyboard user won't be confused when their cursor disappears. Aria hidden tells the screen reader to ignore the object, as it is hidden.
I would expect that this does not affect the functionality.

 <input class="forAppleCardScan" id="cardExpirationMonth" type="text" tabindex="-1" aria-hidden="true">
<input class="forAppleCardScan" id="cardExpirationYear" type="text" tabindex="-1" aria-hidden="true"> 

Also, did you try using type="hidden"
