The makeup of the structure is irrelevant to this
discussion. Since there is a structure (which is
something) it cannot possibly be nothing.

True under some abstract (non-physical) conditions. For example, the
"structure" could be a mere figment of your imagination which is
something, an abstraction, a figment. However, it is not something
which measureable TEM waves could use as an aether for propagation.
The answer lies in the fact that, if TEM waves are present, then
something (the TEM WAVE itself) is present where nothing existed
before. TEM waves need only by their very presence propagagate through
nothing. This does not suggest I am stating that they travel outside
the boundaries of the Universe which you believe is the only locus
where nothing exists, and to which I disagree since empty space is
also "nothing" as defined in this universe. Empty space,in locii where
the exotic paricles do not exist, needs no structure. It is that
without structure.
