They couldn't use shuttles in the Enterprise to save Data and Picard?

I know the transporters were down at the end of the film, but the Enterprise still had shuttles in their shuttle bay with functioning transporters. Why couldn't they use those to beam Data and Picard back to the ship?

Is there some rule in Star Trek that says you can't use a shuttle's transporter system while it's still onboard its mothership? Why would that be the case? And even if it is, couldn't they just launch a shuttle and then use it to beam out Data and Picard once it is in space?

This is one of many plot holes that could be pointed out many times in movies and episodes throughout the entire franchise. That's why it's called science fiction.
