I resolve a Commandeer that is targeting a Zombify my opponent controls. I choose not to change the targets. Does Zombify's "your graveyard" wording prevent me from putting the targeted creature onto the battlefield?

Yes. Zombify's target is: "creature card from your graveyard."
Zombify is targeting a creature card in your opponent's graveyard. Since the "you" refers to the spell's controller, which is now you due to Commandeer, and the creature card isn't in your graveyard, then Zombify's target is illegal. Zombify is countered when it would try to resolve.
