Accessibility Alert: Aria-hidden Alert on Kendo Tooltip Icons

I am currently using the ANDI accessibility tool and have encountered an accessibility issue with the tooltip icons across my application.

The tool reports an "Aria-Hidden Alert" stating: "Element is focusable but has or is contained by [aria-hidden = true]."  The tool also reports as "Keyboard Access Alerts" which states" "Focusable element is not in keyboard tab order; should it be tabbable"?

The HTML for these elements shows aria-hidden = true and focusable = false. I believe the focusable attribute should be set to true.

I have attempted to resolve this using JavaScript to directly removing aria-hidden = true and changing focusable to true.  However, there is no built-in configuration in Kendo UI for ASP.NET MVC to customize these accessibility attributes for tooltip icons therefore it didn't work.

Can you make the icons customizable?

I am including a screenshot of the code.
