I'm trying to mask some blocks, using images only, which works well in the beginnings. while whenever I restart the program the images just disappear and 3 question marks ? ? ? replace them. where to save the mask images such that it can be permanent in the program?

The images need to be on your MATLAB path to be picked up by the model.
One of the simplest things you can start with would be to make sure the images are on the same folder as your model, so that when you navigate to that folder to open the model, the image is also on your MATLAB search path.
Another approach is to create an "images" folder and make sure that the folder to the path when the model is opened, and potentially removed from the path when the model is closed. You can do this by issuing the addpath / rmpath functions in a Model Callback, or by creating a Simulink project.

I made the same observations as you, and the solution I found is just to run the simulation. Right after compiling, "???" are replaced by the images.
