You can use --rename together with --no-download to rename the files downloaded by aria2c, but you would need to find a way to recreate aria2c's filenames and gallery-dl will have to go over the same collection of Tweets a second time.

Just {filename}.{extension} seems to work for filenames, so

gallery-dl -G https://x.com/interesting_aIl | aria2c -Z -j 6 -i -
gallery-dl --rename "{filename}.{extension}" --no-download https://x.com/interesting_aIl

You might also need to adjust gallery-dl's directory settings.
