Replace multiple file by passing parameter value

Hello All,
I want to change date part in file name to yesterday date in the file name.

example file name
Code:
file-12122017-06-30-41.dat

want
Code:
file-12112017-06-30-41.dat

I am doing like below. Below it is not changing the filename. Actually it is not parsing the $today and $yesterday value in replacing part.
Code:
yesterday=`date +%m%d%Y -d "1 day ago"`
today=`date +%m%d%Y`
