I posted a photo of what I've done so far. The line indicates where I stray off I'm confused because how can I use fouriers trick with cosh?

This is also example 3.4 in Griffiths E&M. He just breezes over the Fourier analysis part saying its the same as example 3.3 which is in this photo. However my cosh term doesn't cancel so I'm not just left with the sine term?
