Sorry I had missed this part. Let me try to explain how I see it...then of course a native Japanese will correct the way I see it. I use a phrase as example:
犬に今夜餌を与えるようにしろ trying to literally translate would be "tonight do in a way that you feed the dogs". The nuance of this phrase is: no matter what else you have to do, you do find 5 minutes and you feed the dogs.
The example about my mother やさいを食べるようにしてください even though looks polite implies I don't care however you will do it, but you are going to finish you veggies or you get in trouble.
