This will allow you to rename an attachment as soon as its uploaded:

add_action('add_attachment', 'rename_attachment');
function rename_attachment($post_ID){
    
    $post = get_post($post_ID);
    $file = get_attached_file($post_ID);
    $path = pathinfo($file);
        //dirname   = File Path
        //basename  = Filename.Extension
        //extension = Extension
        //filename  = Filename
    
    $newfilename = "NEW FILE NAME HERE";
    $newfile = $path['dirname']."/".$newfilename.".".$path['extension'];
    
    rename($file, $newfile);    
    update_attached_file( $post_ID, $newfile );
    
}

add_action('add_attachment', 'rename_attachment');
function rename_attachment($post_ID){

        //filename  = Filename
    
    $newfilename = "NEW FILE NAME HERE";
    $newfile = $path['dirname']."/".$newfilename.".".$path['extension'];
    
    rename($file, $newfile);    
    update_attached_file( $post_ID, $newfile );
    
}
