If the mass within a proton has any structure -- in other words, if it is NOT simply a uniform sphere of about .87 fento-meters -- at present we lack the capability to discern that structure. The mass MIGHT be concentrated in the center, or at the edge, or clumped half-way in-between. We can't know at this point.

More so, at the size level of a proton, mass structure begins to lose any meaning. The interactions of the three quarks within a proton may well be occuring in such a way that there really isn't ANY mass structure.
