Peace be upon you and God's mercy and blessings.
His Eminence Ayatollah Khamenei and Ayatollah Sistani (may God protect them):
There is no atonement for someone who commits adultery or masturbation during the nights of Ramadan or outside of Ramadan, except for sincere repentance. However, if such acts are committed while fasting, the fast is invalidated, and the person must make up the fast and perform atonement. For details on the amount of atonement, you can refer to question 8486.
May you be successful in all good.
