You can try to add the new attribute to an attribute set and attribute group when install or upgrade data:

<?php

namespace Custom\Attribute\Setup;

use Magento\Framework\Setup\InstallDataInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleContextInterface;
use Magento\Framework\Setup\ModuleDataSetupInterface;
use Magento\Customer\Setup\CustomerSetupFactory;
use Magento\Customer\Model\Customer;
use Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\SetFactory as AttributeSetFactory;
use Magento\Eav\Model\AttributeRepository;

class InstallData implements InstallDataInterface
{

    /**
     * @var CustomerSetupFactory
     */
    protected $customerSetupFactory;

    /**
     * @var GroupFactory
     */
    protected $groupFactory;

    /**
     * @var AttributeRepository
     */
    protected $attributeRepository;

    /**
     * @var AttributeSetFactory
     */
    protected $attributeSetFactory;

    public function __construct(
        CustomerSetupFactory $customerSetupFactory,
        AttributeRepository $attributeRepository,
        AttributeSetFactory $attributeSetFactory
    ) {
        $this->customerSetupFactory = $customerSetupFactory;
        $this->attributeRepository = $attributeRepository;
        $this->attributeSetFactory = $attributeSetFactory;
    }

    public function install(ModuleDataSetupInterface $setup, ModuleContextInterface $context)
    {
        $setup->startSetup();

        $customerSetup = $this->customerSetupFactory->create(['setup' => $setup]);

        $customerEntity = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getEntityType('customer');
        $attributeSetId = $customerEntity->getDefaultAttributeSetId();

        /** @var \Magento\Eav\Model\Entity\Attribute\SetFactory $attributeSet */
        $attributeSet = $this->attributeSetFactory->create();
        $attributeGroupId = $attributeSet->getDefaultGroupId($attributeSetId);

        $customerSetup->addAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, 'anniversary_year', [
            'label' => 'Anniversary Year',
            'input' => 'text',
            'type' => 'varchar',
            'required' => false,
            'visible' => true,
            'system' => false,
            'is_used_in_grid' => false,
            'is_visible_in_grid' => false,
            'is_filterable_in_grid' => false,
            'is_searchable_in_grid' => false
        ]);

        $newAttribute = $customerSetup->getEavConfig()->getAttribute(Customer::ENTITY, 'anniversary_year')
            ->addData([
                'attribute_set_id' => $attributeSetId,
                'attribute_group_id' => $attributeGroupId,
                'used_in_forms' => ['customer_account_create', 'checkout_register' , 'adminhtml_customer'],
            ]);
        $newAttribute->save();
        $this->attributeRepository->save($newAttribute);

        $setup->endSetup();
    }
}
