mass structure....? Did you mean material structure ? speculatively: near light velocity any material structure cease to exists...so the question is somehow senseless.

Relativity says nothing with mass can ever move at the speed of light. Light itself has no mass and cannot exist unless it is moving at the speed of light.

It can't but to some one observing it moving that speed, the mass would approach infinity

It's mass would approach infinity and its 'length' (along its axis of motion) would contract to zero (the 'Lorentz-Fitzgerald' contraction). At lightspeed, it would only be a wavefront.
