Scribes did that job.
It was Charlemagne. He did not collect Roman writings. He commissioned monks to transcribe them. As a result copied manuscripts of Roman writings were scattered around the monasteries of much of western Europe. He did not do so with Greek writings. Knowledge of Greek had been lost, so the monks could not transcribe them. Greek writings were preserved in Greece.
The temples and the statues were modelled on those of the Greeks.
It's Petrarch
The Romans were deeply influenced by the Greeks. The adopted some Greek gods and many Greek myths and later they linked their gods to Greek ones. Roman architecture adopted Greek styles for temples and porticoes. From the late 1st century BC they copied Greek statues and modelled their own on Greek ones. They adopted Greek sports and the Greek gymnasium. Today we still have Greco-Roman wrestling. They adopted Greek medicine. They adopted Greek cranes and siege machines, and greatly improved on the cranes and the ballista (a catapult). Early Latin tragedy was based on or copied Greek tragedy and early Latin poetry was based on Greek verse. The first professional educators in Rome were Greeks. The Roman elites received an education in both Latin and Greek. The pinnacle of their education was a stay in Greece to study Greek philosophy.
It was not a culture which preserved Roman manuscripts. It was the Emperor Charlemagne who ordered monks around Europe to transcribe Roman manuscripts in the early 9th century. The Italian humanists of the Late Middle Ages and the Renaissance travelled around the abbeys and monasteries of Europe to find Roman writings. Greek writings and their knowledge were preserved in Greece in the Byzantine period. Few Latin translations of Greek works survived in the west and knowledge of the Greek language had waned. The Florentine humanist Coluccio Salutati invented the Byzantine scholar Manuel Chysoloras to Florence in 1397 to teach Greek to a select group of scholars. Interest in the Greeks increased after the capture of Constantinople by the Ottoman Turks in 1453. Greek scholars fled to Italy and taught Greek and Greek science and philosophy.
Roman art copied the work of Greek arts by inculcating painting, sculpture and mosaic work in their art.

The Greek statues were meant to look perfect. The Roman copied the Greek art and many other stuffs. But some of the things the Roman copied were different. Their statues were not meant to look perfect. They included every single features, unlike the Greeks. These are the reason why the Roman and Greek statues differ
