So, here is my solution using the mutateFormDataBeforeCreate() function when the form is submitted. It is based off of another user's code. It's not pretty, but it does work:

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        if (is_array($data['attachments'])) {

            // Get the next auto increment from the database.
            $nextAutoIncrement = Claim::getModel()::max('id') + 1;

            foreach ($data['attachments'] as $key => $value) {
                // Move the uploaded files from the temporary storage to the public storage.
                Storage::disk('public')->move( $value, 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value));

                // Change the file path to be the next auto increment.
                $data['attachments'][$key] = 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value);
            }
        }
        return $data;
    }

protected function mutateFormDataBeforeCreate(array $data): array
    {
        if (is_array($data['attachments'])) {

            // Get the next auto increment from the database.
            $nextAutoIncrement = Claim::getModel()::max('id') + 1;

            foreach ($data['attachments'] as $key => $value) {
                // Move the uploaded files from the temporary storage to the public storage.
                Storage::disk('public')->move( $value, 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value));

                // Change the file path to be the next auto increment.
                $data['attachments'][$key] = 'claim-attachments/' . $nextAutoIncrement . '/' . str_replace('claim-attachments/','', $value);
            }
        }
        return $data;
    }

Use resource record ID in file upload path

There is a mutateFormDataBeforeCreate() method you can call in the create page, but the attachments seem to be empty in the posted array, since they are uploaded in realtime. So I could get it to work on the edit page, but not during create. A workaround could potentially be to hide the file attachments during creation and only show it on the edit page. Is something like that possible? As amazing as filament is, I feel there are a lot of hacking needed in order to get basic things done unfortunately ;/
