complex integral with logarithmic derivative of $\zeta$

I want to prove that for any $x\geq 2$ we have $$ \begin{split} -\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}(s)&=\sum_{n\leq x}\frac{\Lambda(n)}{n^s}\frac{\log(x/n)}{\log x}+\frac{1}{\log x}\left(\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}(s)\right)^{\prime}+\frac{1}{\log x}\sum_{\rho}\frac{x^{\rho-s}}{(\rho-s)^2}\\ &\qquad\qquad\qquad-\frac{x^{1-s}}{(1-s)^2\log x}+\frac{1}{\log x}\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^{-2k-s}}{(2k+s)^2}. \end{split} $$ The idea of the proof is to consider to express $\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}$ as a Dirichlet series and make use of the identity (for $c>0$) $$ \frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty}x^s\frac{ds}{s^2}= \begin{cases} \log x &\text{if }x\geq 1,\\ 0 &\text{if } 0\leq x <1. \end{cases} $$ Indeed in this way, setting $c=\max\{1,2-\sigma\}$ and interchanging the order of summation and integration (which is justified b absolute convergence), we get $$ \begin{split} \frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty}-\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}(s+w)\frac{x^w}{w^2}\,dw&=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty}\left[\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\Lambda(n)}{n^{s+w}}\right]\frac{x^w}{w^2}\,dw\\ &=\frac{1}{2\pi i}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\Lambda(n)}{n^s}\int_{c-i\infty}^{c+i\infty}\left(\frac{x}{n}\right)^w\frac{dw}{w^2}\\ &=\sum_{n\leq x}\frac{\Lambda(n)}{n^s}\log(x/n). \end{split} $$ Now I would to estimate the integral in another way: moving the line of integration to the left ($c\to \infty$) and using Cauchy residue theorem. The residue I get is $$ -\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}(s)\log x-\left(\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}(s)\right)^{\prime}-\sum_{\rho}\frac{x^{\rho-s}}{(\rho-s)^2}+\frac{x^{1-s}}{(1-s)^2}-\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{x^{-2k-s}}{(2k+s)^2}. $$ Therefore I would get my claim if I was able to show that the other integrals go to zero. How can I show it? Let $$ f(w)=-\frac{\zeta^{\prime}}{\zeta}(s+w)\frac{x^w}{w^2} $$ I have to fix $K>0$ and show that $$ \int_{c+iK}^{-K+iK}f(w)\,dw,\qquad \int_{-K+iK}^{-K-iK}f(w)\,dw,\qquad \int_{-K-iK}^{c-iK}f(w)\,dw, $$ all tend to zero as $K\to \infty$. Do you have any hint on how to proceed? Which bound should I use? Thanks for your help!
